Genetics testing

This morning's test was, in a word, daunting. In another word, kind of boring. In a third word, exhausting.
We decided to have the CVS testing instead of the Amnio because we could do it earlier. It was especially hard when the interviewer starting asking questions about CF. Not that it is hard to talk about, just that when we looked at the common gene mutations and she indicated the two that Elizabeth had, it was really difficult to see her as statistical numbers. Reduced to that on one hand and being the informational catalyst for us on the other. Very difficult.
You know what was also hard? Realizing that Beth's family is fine and dandy, while my side, replete with CF, still born twins, Autism spectrum, possible schizophrenia and SIDS, is a mess. Maybe we shouldn't procreate at all. Now, admittedly, most of these ailments, diseases and the like are distant relatives, but still, kind of makes you wonder, you know?
