Genetics Appointment

We had the genetics appointment today. It went well, over all. They did not run her DNA because nothing in her history or physical appearance warranted further investigation. Dr. Atkin disagreed with Dr. Popp regarding his diagnosis of symbrachydactaly. She believes that this is either ABS (our original diagnosis) or vascular. She believes that the subchronic hemorrhage that I had in weeks five to fifteen added to the likelihood that this was vascular.

Okay. While I am elated that she doesn't have any other issues and that it is non-syndromic, I am left wanting. I want to know what happened. I want to be able to tell my daughter when she asks what happened what, in fact, happened. I won't be able to and that bothers me. I want answers and she'll want answers that I don't have. I'll have to say either "It just did" or "It is either a. b. or c." It sucks.

So, today was good. Aggravating, but good. She weighed 11 lbs, was 22" long, and had a head circumference of 16".
