I (Aubrey) received these results (determining whether I'm a carrier of Becker's or not) a little while ago, but have not posted because there is a lot of emotion attached. (and I am still editing this post weeks after starting it)
I am a carrier of Beckers Muscular Dystrophy. My mother is also a carrier. My family is being further tested to figure out where exactly the gene mutation started.
What does this mean? It means that Harper will be a carrier as well as my two sisters. If and when my sisters have children it is my prayer that God spares them the pain of ever having to hear "your son has Beckers MD." This is a very rare form of MD and the Dr.'s we have seen have not followed cases of Beckers. For now we live and enjoy and we'll update when we have news.
Thank you for prayers!
P.S. If you happen to see a fundraiser for MD give! It is amazing how our "little" can be made into a lot.
