starting with a sleepless night, early morning, peek hour traffic, no parking at the hospital,
the list goes on ...
Today was the day that we 'finally' found out that only one of our 3 children have haemochromatosis.
A few months ago Mr 4 was diagnosed with this genetic disorder.
Today we got all our results back.
Both hubby and i are Carriers and my older two kiddies don't seem to have the gene.
So now Genetic testing begins... ... (so we can find out who else in our family has it.)
Apart from this i have an endless list of appointments for the next few months.
I'm feeling a bit like this just thinking of them all!
How is your lead up to Christmas looking?

there is haemochromatosis in our family too and the testing can be so exhausting!
as for christmas, I peaked a little early and bought some presents back in July then kinda forgot about it so I really must get back on track :)
bloody hell! what a day darl!!! No wonder you are stuffed. Hope it's early to bed tonight. xx
I hope it all works out for your little guy. My son and I have an inherited genetic disorder and it does feel overwhelming sometimes taking the information in and sorting through it.
Forgive me if you think it's spam but I have a link on my blog to a Christmas 2011 planner....it is amazing .I can't wait together stuck into get organized.
Thank God the other kids are fine! That is a relief!
I need to get organized for Christmas. Boatman is not keen to plan though, which makes it hard. At the moment Chrustmas shopping means entering all the blog comps I can!
We have haemochromatosis in our family. I am a carrier too.
I can't even begin to think about Christmas until at least the last week of November.
I am tired just reading your post! So sorry you have all this to deal with, just remember - one hour at a time, one foot in front of the other. Oh, and don't forget the coffee!
