Ed was diagnosed with a chromosomal translocation and so our child will be started in a petri dish. The drs are very aware now that it was very possible that Lucas had an unbalanced chromosomal translocation, and that had a part in his death. We need to prevent this from happening again to our next child, or we will never have a child that is born full term and healthy. So Invitro, with a new process called PGD is what we are going to have to do. It is amazing what science can do to help us!
