It's been suspected, of course, because Henry's development and all the surrounding aspects couldn't indicate anything else. But I just got off the phone with the genetic counselor we spoke with a few weeks ago, and she confirmed for us that Henry has FXS.
I'm not entirely certain how I feel about this. On the one hand, we knew that he's got Fragile X. But on the other, it didn't stop that initial feeling in my sternum, a bit of a burning sensation, when I heard the confirmation first-hand. I guess it put more reality into the situation even if I already knew it.
