Can I please catch a break? Please..........?

Sunday - C is diagnosed with a blood clot, and may have to be on blood thinners the rest of his life. Scary.

Monday - Spend all day racing around trying to get his lovenox injection prescription before the urgent care 24 hour dose runs out. Estimated time spent doing this: 4 hours.

Then we go to our annual Eye Exam - I am diagnosed with convergence insufficiency. Kind of like a lazy eye. Now I have to go in for 20 sessions of vision therapy to try to correct the problem.



WTF

We did have our Genetic Counselor (GC) appointment yesterday also.

She went through our family tree to identify anyone in either side of the family that had birth defects, infertility, stillbirth, health conditions etc. Then she talked to us about our options for genetic testing, like Cystic Fibrosis and things like that. Also about the option of DNA testing for each of us, basically blood work karyotyping to see if we have any odd genetic makeup. She suggested that we only opt for that type of testing if we have a 3rd loss. Which we had pretty much figured would be the case, and are fine with.

She talked about Triploidy too, but, nothing that we didn't already learn through our own research. She also agreed it would be highly unlikely that the first m/c was caused by that, but obviously we need to get testing done if it happens a 3rd time and it is caused by Triploidy again. She also mentioned that 17% of miscarriages caused by this, but that the farther along in the pregnancy the odds go down, so by the time I miscarried it would have been at a 3% chance or something, and carrying to full term would be 1%.

So she gave us homework, because we didn't know all the specific names of some of the conditions that run in the family and then she'll send a report to our doctor. Though it sounds like it isn't going to change anything. We would have had to do this at some point anyway, so at least it is done!
