I believe that you are a balance carrier of the long arm 22. I am a balance carrier of the long arm of 5. My son when he was born picked up the balance chromosome of 5 from me and it floated down into #22 and broke into two pieces. My some has 3 chromosomes in #22. My doctor said that it's it 50% chance that if I had more childrens, they also could have chromosome abormalities. But remember there is a 50% chance that they could not. Hang in there and pray and Our father will work it out for the good.
I thank him for my son and don't know what I would do without my son in my life. He is 21 now and cannot walk, talk, feed himself. He still wears diapers, but he can sat up and smile and babble and he is spoiled rotten. But Hey!! He is joy in my life. Keep the faith.
