<---tells Steph that when her sis had her 2nd to last baby, the doctors saw some stuff on a test too that concerned them. They made her do more tests and then told her that her baby had X,Y,& Z and did she want to them to "end it". She told them certainly not and it's good she did, because there was not a DANG thing wrong with that baby
<---says for her (same sis) last baby, she had to have extra tests because of her age (late 30's) and was told that said baby had a crooked digit which was a sign of (blank) disease and what did she want to do? Again, NOTHING was wrong with the baby when it was born
<---would say the doctors were just nuts, but her sis was going to one of the top hospitals in the nation for these tests
<---isn't suggesting that their indicators are total crap - is sure they have their place
<---just tends to be leary of taking them as absolute truth
<---will be praying that nothing comes of the future tests
<---sends Steph tons of hugs because <--- is sure it will be on her mind today

<--Asked one of the mommies (who used to be an OB nurse practitioner) at Oliver's school about it Monday, and she said she had seen a patient who had the same marker whose doc said everything would be just fine, and it ended up the worst possible scenario. (Can't even bare to type about it.) So, <--have been worried ever since then.
<--Just really wishes the doc's office would call me with the test results. However, this test has a high false positive rate.
<--Says it doesn't help that <--is a worrywart.

<---sends more (((hugs))) to Stephanie
<---has heard time and time again that these genetic disorder tests have a high false positive rate... so they can be more of a curse than a blessing because of all the worry they cause

<---hopes Carola got CleanMax and LaundryMax done
