April 16th - Genetics Testing

Headed back to CHOP for Genetics Testing. I wasn't planning on doing this because I am not really concerned as to the WHY of her hearing loss. Originally, I figured when she was older and if she wanted to know why we would do it then. However, it is part of the required workup for a CI. Basically they did a bunch of measurements. Everything from the spacing between her eyes to the length of the digits of her fingers and so many more. They asked a bit of family history and then a blood draw. We will hear in four to six weeks.

We did also volunteer to be part of a 'study group'. They just had to take a little extra vile of blood for that department.
