8 months old and WE HAVE AN ANSWER

First of all, Teresa is 8 months old already. She is now 21 pounds and 29 inches long. My little chunker.

We went to see the geneticist for Teresa's hands. We had to go all the way down to UCLA again. We have been there twice for this now. The two doctors we have seen have been great. They are very attentive and listen to you. This time when we went the doctor came in and didn't look at us crazy like he had never seen this issue before. He actually knew what it was and had a name for it. So, we FINALLY have an answer. DO NOT go and google, or look up, this.....the name of the result is Arthrogryposis. He said if we looked it up we'd be freaked out. Only the major cases are posted and he said Teresa's is pretty mild.
Basically how this happened was by two defective genes of ours that joined when she was being developed in my womb. The chances of that are very slim, but it happened. Every 1 in 4 children we were to have could have this. If we were to have more kids I would have to go to him for further testing before hand. But there are no more kinds in our future, that are planned anyway. I asked if this could effect her children. He said on ly if she married someone who had the same defective gene.
This affects both hands and feet and there are issues with her feet as well. We have not really noticed it until she has grown and things are more noticeable. Over time, with therapy, this can be fixed.
There is a book written on these sorts of cases. The doctor is going to email the author and send her pictures and explain her case. Then he will see what sort of conclusion she comes to and what action may be best. From there we will go back to the orthopedist. He will then tell us how we should go about therapy from here.
We are very happy to have an answer and that this is it. It would only get worse if we did not take any action. Of course we will take action and keep on top of it. She will continue to gro wup normal and live a normal life.
