[tri-med] Re: genetic testing

It's just a blood test.  Randy and I had it done and fortunately, our insurance 
covered it.  We got a script from the geneticist and went to the lab at 
Children's Hospital of Milwaukee.  What was funny is they didn't cover the 
genetic testing on Jackson, it was about 700.00.  Call your insurance company 
and see what they will pay for.

  My husband and I have been talking about having more kids. We aren't really
ready yet but for different reasons. We've talked to a genetic specialist
and basically know that Mitchell's mosaic form of t13 was just a "fluke".
BUT, my husband made a comment this weekend about not wanting to until we
have genetic testing because he just wants to make sure. SO-if this is what
he wants...this is what we'll do. But, my question is-what is involved? Is
it just a blood test. I'm guessing it will be expensive. How do I go about
getting this and will they even do it? I think he just needs to see it for
himself....I guess I don't blame him. Any suggestions?
Thanks
