chromosome 16

The doctor called. They finally got the results of the micro array tests on Max's chromosomes.
He has a micro deletion on chromosome 16. That is what is causing his late development. There are not many known cases but the ones there are all speak of mental retardation. That is what I've felt, all along.
It feels good to know what it is, to have a name... to me nothing else matters; he is still the same wonderful little Max. And I am not going to worry about tomorrow!
Robert was a bit upset; he was still hoping Max would catch up, even though, we did get the answer that would not happen, several months ago! He is coming around, though!
He is mostly worried what this will mean for Max in school etc. Afraid he will be teased and so on!

The doctor said this is just bad luck, neither Robert nor I have anything similar. I will not call it bad luck! I just can not say Max and bad luck in the same sentence:-)! To me he is nothing but perfect, as is Liam!!!
But I will admit, it is strange that both our children have difficulties that are not related!
I will write more later... Liam is not well, probably an ulcer, so he is in a lot of pain! Going to the doctor tomorrow!
Love you all!!!
