: confused! They did a blood test but

I think you will have to wait for the results of the blood. It should have been a FISH. So, they will be able to tell for what part of the Chromosomes got messed up. I don't think anyone would be able to tell you for sure with out that. With only abnormality it would be really hard. And if she is years old, I would think that you have noticed physical and mental delays. So that is really good that she is doing so well! Good Luck!
