Well..........my a/c is fixed for now. There is a slow free-on (sp?) leak coming from a pipe INSIDE of my wall! It will be a major repair that requires tearing up my wall and replacing the a/c piping. The a/c repair guy said that we can hold off until it gets cooler out, seeing as I will not have a/c for three days while repairs are made. He just put more freeon in the a/c. It's fine for now.
The last statistics that I know about say that your descendents have a 20% change of getting AA. It can be mild to extreme. So actually, I think the chances of passing down an extreme case of AA to your child is even smaller than that. Most people that have AA don't have the extreme form of it like you and I do. My 8 yr old son has 2 small spots on his head. I'm keeping a close eye on them, but so far they have been stable and very small. I'm not going to worry too much about it right now. There are also some other incidences of AA in my family,but very very mild ones.
You're kids are totally normal!! Mine are pure energy too. Whenever I complain my huhsband tells me that as long as they make messes, run, scream,fight,jump,cry etc.....we better thank God that they are healthy! When they don't do those things, then we better worry. He's so right.
I wish you weren't so far away. I would love to meet you in person. But I'm greatful to get to know you through AW. This is a great site. :-) Sarah
