A little update

In my last post I mentioned that the chromosomal testing was recommended based on Isaiah's delays, size, as well as several congenital abnormalities.  Since then I've had several people ask what those abnormalities were so here's the list she had in his report:

Microcephaly
Pre-auricular pit
Flat nasal tip
3rd toe underlapped bilaterally
Unilateral undescended testicle
High pitched unusual cry
Small stature
Delayed developmental milestones


Since that appointment we have gone ahead and scheduled his ultrasound (because of the association between ear abnormalities [his ear pit] and renal anomalies) for next week.  We are still playing the back and forth game with insurance to see if we can get the chromosomal testing covered, but I am hoping they get it sorted out so we can have the blood draw done that same day.  Once we do the draw we should get the results in 4-6 LONG weeks!  We have also been referred to genetics for a genetic consultation in November (no clue what they will do) and we will be back in for another evaluation in 4 months with the whole CDD team.
