The time has flown by and I can not believe Nolan is 6 months old today! We have so much to be thankful for, but we reflect today on how thankful we are for Nolan's health. We had an appointment on Friday with Nolan's neurologist and went through all of the genetic test details at length. As we suspected, Nolan will have a 50% chance of passing this exact condition onto his children. There is a small, very small 1-2% chance of him passing on a more severe form of epilepsy onto his kids. Because of this very, very small chance of a more severe form of epilepsy, Jeff and I have decided to have ourselves tested to see either one of us is a carrier. After a lengthy discussion with his neurologist the chance of this happening to Nolan by a fluke mutation is much more likely than Jeff and I passing it onto him. What a crazy, exciting, stressful, bumpy first 6 months of life.... We can not wait to see what the upcoming months, years, and decades have in store! We are crazy in love with this sweet boy!
