We are still processing all of the info we learning at Mayo Clinic. We asked to pursue carrier testing for muscular dystrophy since she is now having signs of protein in her urine as well as the blood markers of slight muscle breakdown in the heart. Her Mayo genetic doctor was on board and started the process last week. We thankfully have her samples on file at Mayo so no additional blood work is needed. We are in process with the insurance company for approval. It can take up to 30 days for approval/rejection. This test will allow us to know if we should more closely monitor her heart every year if she is a carrier. Please be in prayer that God works out the details of the insurance, etc. This genetic test (from what I've read) can be processed within weeks--so this would be a relatively quick process if we can get over the insurance hurdle. |
