Our Mayo appointments

Well, Addison was negative for CF. What we were expecting, but still a HUGE relief to us! We met with a genetics counselor and pedi pulmonologist to get the skinny on her being a carrier. She will just have to be aware of this when she has kids of her own someday, her partner will have to be tested. So she is all good, although I think that she has got pink eye from her sister.... not sure what we are going to do about that! Payton is on drops...

Payton saw the hematologist and we are going to stay on the iron supplements and try to keep her on a good diet. She does pretty well. And we are going to have her blood drawn every 3 months to see what her trends are. That is all for now unless she starts to display any symptoms of her anemia. I am not sure if MA did a CF screen for Payton when she was born. I believe it is optional in MA and we don't remember being asked if we wanted it. So we will have to find that out or Payton will probably want to be tested to see if she is a CF carrier before she decides to have kids. So much to think about... hopefully we will remember all the juicy details for her when she starts to ask us questions!

So all in all it was a lot of good news for us this week. We are so thankful!
