Wish Us Luck

Yum Yum and I are about to head out the door to the doctors. He has an appointment with the pediatric hematologist/oncologist this morning, to run some blood tests. Hubby had a few strokes (yes.... strokes) when he was younger, and we were advised to get Yum Yum tested to look for a genetic link.

Medicine has really changed in the last decade regarding illnesses and for that I am appreciative. I am thankful that both Yum Yum and Hubby will have their blood drawn today and I will know in a few days if either of them are going to be at risk. Either Yum Yum for a stroke in his teenage years or Hubby if he is at risk for another stroke at any time.

I am worried about receiving bad news, but I am confident that they will come out on top.

Also it is good to know if Hubby has this genetic marker because once Pea Pod is born I will know if he/she will need to be tested also.
