Our run of good luck and good news ended today. They started this morning by asking us if we could be there tomorrow at 10am to meet with the Geneticist (sp?). Then a little later one of the Dr’s told us why. Logan has something called DiGeorge Syndrome. The heart condition he had repaired is one of the possible affects from it. DiGeorge syndrome is caused by a large deletion from chromosome 22. There are other possible affects that can vary in severity. Our nurse today says she has had DiGeorge Syndrome patients that are perfectly normal. I’m sure she has had some that had various symptoms too. The little I have read on it states that it is not cureable but the dr’s can treat some of the various symptons/affects.
Tomorrow we will learn more about it and they will be doing further tests on Logan’s blood to look into this further.
