The DNA Test is Back

....................And it shows NOTHING!!!!!

This was the final test the specialists wanted done. It covered everything from autism to CP to Angelman Syndrome and it showed zilch.
I feel like a 100lb weight has been lifted off my chest.
So after all the diagnoses, tests, assessments, appointment, specialists, etc. we have a baby with developmental delays and a little head.
Yeesh.
So we'll continue to work with her (she's thisclose to standing on her own now by the way), and loving her and ignore everything else.
Whew! This is going to be a great weekend.

Thanks everyone! We had a great weekend and I know part of it was shear relief.

Ski: She's doing a lot better. We've figured out that part of the problem is that if she doesn't want or like something she makes herself vomit instead of just spitting it out. So we're working on that.
She's feeding herself pasta and crackers and even little bits of meat. We really don't grind anything anymore, which is FANTASTIC. Still eats like a little bird though.
