Test results

Mood :

I called my Houston RE to get my test results from the 15 vials of blood I had drawn. The nurse was pretty evasive. She basically said that all the tests came back fine except one. I asked her which one and all she could tell me was it was a MTHFR test. I tested positive for this. I looked it up on the net and this is what I found:

MTHFR stands for Metylene-Tetra-Hydro-Folate-Reductase. Some individuals with the homozygous MTHFR mutation have elevated homocysteine levels. Elevated homocysteine levels are a risk factor for blood clots.

I don't know at this point if those levels were high. She said the RE would go over the specifics with me. I asked if it was something that I could take meds for and she said baby aspirin would likely be the regimen but she won't know for certain til the dr. looks at the test more intensely.

So, now I have to wait until Monday. She is not in today so I have to suck it up all weekend. I will try not to worry about it too much. Why worry about something you can't control?

On another note, Dave will not be coming home this weekend. His doctor (and he) have said that it is taking quite a toll on him doing 8 hours of driving every weekend. So, he is taking a break and going to hang out in SA. Me and the kids are not happy about it but what can ya do...I can't be selfish where his health is concerned. I just wish I could take a break from the house and kids and do my own thing for one weeked...bye hey, mothers don't get that option. My daughter sprained her wrist and my son has been fighting a cold so I guess we'll just have to stay in and
watch kiddie movies all weekend. I'll certainly be happy when we move and I don't have all this stress anymore. I'm so sick of worry about mortgages, inspections, repairs, realtors, etc. I really never want to move again!

Ok, I'm done with my rant. Have a good weekend everyone.
