[tri-wings] Re: Introductions

Hi Missy,

You live about two hours from me.  I am in Seekonk a small town outside of
Boston.  What a small world.  I believe the information you are looking for
may be available on the trisomy site that wings is a part of.  I believe it
is trisomy.org.  If you check with Mandy she may be able to provide you with
the link.  I have some information that Karen had sent to the group a while
back.  If you like, I can forward it to you.  It has some data about
translocations that you might find helpful.  Look forward to hearing more
from you.

I feel like I should introduce myself and tell you all a little bit about
myself. First thank you so much for the support I have recieved already from
everyone. My name is Missy. I am 25 years old. I live in Plymouth
Massachussetts. I am a 4th grade teacher in Duxbury a town near Plymouth. My
husband John is 27.  He is a corrections officer/Deputy for the Sheriff's
Department. Nicole was my first pregnancy/baby. I had MANY ultrasounds 13 to
be exact with no conclusive findings. All though after I found out what
Nicole had it seemed conclusive to me! I had an AFP and everything was
normal. After testing our chromosomes they found out that John was a
"carrier". We went to genetic counseling and they told us that it was very
rare that I got pregnant and carried to term. They then told us that there
is a 7% chance that this will happen again. Even though on paper it looked
like 50% to me. They assured us that in studies of families they only see a
7% reaccurence rate. This is so
 scary to us! I never want to see another baby have to go through what
Nicole went through and for the most part she was pretty healthy!

I guess my question is does anyone know of any sites that may give
statistics on Translocations. I feel like I need to be prepared for the
future even if it may not be what I want.

Thanks so much.

Missy
