I'm happy SumGreater created this blog. She's always so supportive and definitely one of those siblings that keeps our family connected. Thanks SumGreater.
Our family had four sisters and there came a time when we all wore the same size of socks. So, our brilliant mother decided to keep all of the socks in a box and we could just share. As the oldest daughter, I was uncertain what to do when it came time to leave for college. Which socks were mine? How many pairs should I take with me? Will the others be upset if I take the "good" pairs? At any rate, I think it hasn't been since the sock-box that I've shared something with my sisters, so this will be fun.
There is something that I don't share with my sisters and that is the genetic anomaly called translocation. I was tested in 2004 and given and 80% chance of having it, too. I don't have it. Nevertheless, after we welcomed our sweet baby number five and after some time and some worry we finally visited a geneticist. We're still waiting for the blood work, but they've let us know she's "abnormal." That was actually a relief because I could stop worrying if something was wrong. Yes! Something was wrong and now some of the nation's top professionals are going to help us out moving forward.
Stay tuned.
