Email to Clint, Maryanne, AJ, Tim, and TJ.


Maria has been checked out by a specialist and all the test results are in. She has a condition known as Waardenburg Syndrome type II. He said we should expect her to be heterochromatic by the time her eyes are done changing. It's a genetic chromosomal mutation. Fortunately, Type II is the easiest one to manage as it only causes the deafness and the heterochromia. Unfortunately it means that hearing aids won't help her at all and she's not a viable candidate for a cochlear implant.

We should be home tomorrow afternoon.

It's a recessive genetic chromosomal mutation. The fact that it's recessive means we're both carriers. And it's a rare genetic mutation that neither of us could have predicted. So this isn't anybody's fault. still blame myself.
