So it is Saturday once again, and it is time for Saturday sayings. Today I will not just be relating something one of my children said, instead I will be telling you something that was said to one of my children as well.
This week we had to take our second son in to see a geneticist. When we arrived at the Medical center, we quickly found where we were supposed to go. We were an hour early, but they let us register. We were then sent to the "Carnival" waiting room. Very quickly we were checked in and my son and I were placed in a room (Dad and #3 son stayed in the waiting room).
A medical student entered our room and began taking the history. Then he left and said the geneticist would be in shortly. Well imagine my son's surprise when the doctor, the med student and a genetics counselor all entered our room. My son commented, "Boy I must be really important to have 3 people taking care of me." or at least that was the general idea of what he said.
The geneticist told my son, "Boy you really fill out your 'genes'! The funny thing was that Joseph had commented earlier about his "genes" and pointed to his "jeans" that he was wearing.
The appointment went well and we have nothing to worry about, which makes this mother very happy.
The geneticist told me that before we left the center, we would be provided a website to go to for information about the condition that my son could have had. The genetics counselor (a woman), told him that they were NOT going to give me the website. She said there was no need to scare me, which I appreciated. All in all the visit went very well and I was very impressed with the staff and facility (or at least what I saw of it anyhow).
So what has gone on in your week?
