Today was our Appt at the Royal Childrens Hospital for Savannahs Genetic Testing.
Wasn't all that i was expecting, they asked sooo many family health & history questions & they studied savannah like she was from another planet..lol The Genetic Dr said we can definitely rule out any syndrome for her as she is blossoming lovely. So as we had already completed the CMV testing (thanks to this paranoid mama who did it on her own when sav was a baby lol) we got to skip that test & go straight to the blood work for Connexion 26 & 30.
Taking Savannahs blood was absolutely traumatic for me as im sure it was for her. She apparently doesnt have "ideal veins" and when they drew the first vial they didnt get enough blood! ARGHHH!!!
i was a mess, bawled my eyes out hysterically as i watched my poor baby screaming her lungs out in pain :(
Not what i need at all!
Finally after all the commotion my baby girl got two band aids & lots of cuddles from her mama!
Apparently results are not ready for at least 8 weeks. So ill keep you updated on those :)
I took a video of her whilst we where sitting in the waiting room & the picture is of her on the way home in the car :)
