More testing

I've been in contact with Jeremy Schow, a man who works for Lineagen. Lineagen is the company that does genetic testing. I personally talked with my insurance company and they told me that they didn't cover genetic testing. Jeremy had a conference with them and filed a dispute over it and he won the dispute! They are going to cover the testing! Originally, we were only going to have to do a buccal cell test (the swab inside of the cheek to collect the skin cells), but in order for insurance to cover it, they want to do the blood work test instead and we also have to do a karyotype test (another blood test). I'm not exactly sure what the karyotype test will tell us, I know it has something to do with chromosomes. It looks like we'll be doing this blood draw tomorrow and hopefully it will go well and we'll have the results back soon. Since it's Christmas this week, I'm sure it will take a little longer to get them back, but hopefully it won't take too long!
