FISH results

I had my cell phone with me at all times today anxiously awaiting the doctor's call regarding our preliminary genetic results.  I finally got the call around 4:30 while I was in a meeting with the President of my company.  Relief washes over me as I hear the technician say the FISH results are normal!!  These results report on chromosomes 13, 18, 21, and the sex chromosomes which account for 95% of all genetic abnormalities.  We are still waiting on the final results of the other 19 chromosome pairs, but we can breathe easier knowing many genetic conditions have been ruled out.  Our first piece of positive news and a huge step forward!
