Normal.

We got a call from the doctor Monday.  Usually when they call it's bad news, and good news you just find out online in the patient chart, so naturally when I saw the CDD's number pop up on my caller ID I about tossed my cookies.  But it was good news.  Or at least not bad news.  She told me that Isaiah's microarray test came back normal.  I was elated for about 2 second before she kept on talking.  This is good news, but it doesn't mean there isn't a chromosomal abnormality, it just mean he doesn't have any of the chromosomal abnormalities that the microarray can detect.  So we will, for the time being, just do what we're doing until we meet the geneticist this fall.  He will be better able to pick and choose specific tests to run based on Isaiah's symptoms to test more specific genes, if he feels as strongly as the developmental pediatrician does about the possibility of a genetic disorder being a possible answer to his delays.  And while I really do want some answers, I am happy to say that no answers are better than bad ones.
