Two simple and yet two very important, and wonderful, pieces of paper. The blood test results for Megan came back...and they were all normal. I was overjoyed to read this as we were checking to see if she had inherited either of the two genetic blood disorders I have--Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (A1AD) and G6PD Deficiency (G6PDD). While I haven't seen the actual numbers (I will), it looks as if she got the one good gene from me in regards to the A1AD, and did not inherit the G6PDD. Granted, there's still a chance she has A1AD and her levels are currently normal, however the news from these tests are (at the moment) a huge sigh of relief. Next we'll have Ian tested and I'll once again hold my breath and hope for the best. But now, now we celebrate with the happy news. Today is a very, very good day indeed.
