Sticklers Syndrome

Today we finally heard back from genetics at Wake Forest with Tripps final test results that were sent off.  They came back positive for Sticklers Syndrome type 1. This is the most common type of sticklers that is associated with Pierre Robin, it may have it because of a mutation in his genes or inherited it from either Ricky of myself (this will only be known if we are both tested for the syndrome as well, which we may look into at a later time). Fortunately he shouldn't have any cognitive problems because of this, as it effects his hearing, eye sight, and joints.  He has already failed one abr (hearing test) and has another one scheduled for next month and I made him an appointment with a pediatric eye doctor this morning (the earliest appointment they had was sept. 23rd.).
