I have had a message to call the Genetics counsellor.  I am really worried now as I knew if she got in touch within two weeks of me being tested for Fragile X Syndrome that it would probably be bad news.

My stomach is churning.  I feel so sick.  I am so scared to call her tomorrow.

Oh Maisie....

My heart breaks for you because I can't even imagine how you feel.  I can't do more than just send prayers and good thoughts your way.  May God keep your beautiful son safe (he truly is such a cutie!!!).  I pray that this is nothing more than a scare, and you will come back tomorrow with good news for all of us.  I pray that if this is not the case, that you and your husband are strong through all of it.

All my prayers right now are for you and hubbie to stay calm tonight, and for that phone call tomorrow to be positive and only good news.

Big hugs,

M~

Prayers and {{{{big hugs}}}}} going out to you, Maisie. This is certainly a tough wait for you and your family- thank goodness it's only one night.

Your earlier post and pictures certainly indicated that James is making great strides. No matter what the results are, you know his potential is there. It may just take a little longer for him.

*saying prayers*
 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds."

-Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State



John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880

"There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things....

The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

Keeping all of you in my prayers. No matter what happens, it's all part of God's plan. There ARE reasons for everything. Keep strong.





There are thousands of things kids need to be protected from. Hugging isn't one of them.

Maise, I'm so sorry. *big hugs*  your family will be in my prayers.


I know you probably already know this, but their are a ton of web support groups for families with your sons condition. 
www.DailyStrength.org

There is also a book called:
Dear Megan: Letters on Life, Love and Fragile X by mary busby, and it is a highly inspirational book.   i'm sure you have read plenty of clinical stuff, this book is written by 2 mothers.
 

*hugs*

Maisie,

I have been following the threads about other aspects of your life in Hangout and wasn't aware that this was happening contemporaneously. I have seen other threads here (in Family, Home & Health) about your son's being tested for autism, but I do not recall reading about "Fragile X". Can you (or someone else) send me to the correct thread so that I can read more about it?

I am very sorry that he has it. I have an acquaintance with two special needs children. One (the boy) is autistic. I know that they both have an identifiable genetic factor. When she had a third child she was grateful he did not have it. She is now 46 and pregnant with twin girls who are also free of the genetic flaw. I will ask her if this is called, "Fragile X"...but not right now. She is on bed rest, trying not to give birth before mid July since the twins are not due until August....

Life can be very hard. My heart is with you and your family.

Deb

I first started talking about the testing in this thread:

http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=56451

I had thought James was being tested for Fragile X back then but it turns out he wasn't.  I have had the tests instead as I didn't want to traumatise him further.  I have it so they now have to test him for it.  I feel so guilty that I gave him this - I know I couldn't have known but its still devastated me.  I feel sick and my head is really killing me from crying so much.  I know we will get through this but it just looks so hard from where we are standing.

I'm so sorry this is happening to you.

Maisie, sweetheart, this is not your fault. I understand that you might feel this way since it's your egg that carried the defective X chromosome, but you didn't "give" him this. Genetics is pretty complicated, and a lot of it is random. You never wanted him to have this condition, all you ever wanted for him is to be healthy and happy... And it's certainly not your fault if you carry the defective gene to start with. It's not your fault. It's not anyone's fault.

I will keep you and your son in my prayers and thoughts. I'm sending you tons of hugs too.
