Test Results

ratsuda726

We went to the Dr. to get the results of  my blood work & chromosome test (karotyping) that was done on Gioia. All of my blood work came back ok, however, the chromosome test came back inconclusive. They couldn't get the chromosomes to grow from the sample. So, I'm pretty disappointed. We'll never really know what happened. Has anyone else had this? The Dr. said the next step would be to meet with the high-risk Dr & genetic counselor to go over my case & see if there's any other tests they want to do. My Dr said she would call the high risk Dr and talk to him about my tests and that the office will call me with an appt to see him. Well, that was on Thursday and it is now Tuesday. Still haven't gotten a call. I work in a Dr's office as well, so I know that things can get crazy. But, I would never make someone wait this long to follow up with, especially with a case like this. So, I just called asking what's the status, they're supposed to be calling me back. I'm pretty much frustrated and disappointed at this point. I've been learning to deal with the loss, but after the Dr's visit, it just brought a lot of emotion again.

Huge ((hugs)). I'm sorry you're not getting any answers.  I also did not receive any answers as to why my daughter's heart stopped.  I know how frustrating it is.  I hope you can find some comfort in meeting with the high risk Dr and genetic counselor.

Sorry hun the tests were inconclusive. They never found any reason for my little girl's death either.

Ticker warning



We were given several possible reasons why our son passed, but they couldn't determine which was the true cause. Unfortunately, I think it's pretty common that many loss moms don't get the answers that they need. I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this. It's so frustrating and seems to make this so much harder. Big hugs and prayers for peace!
