Today as I was in between appointemnts for work, I received the phone call we had been waiting for. It was Dr. Rosenberg's office. I picked up immediately, expecting to hear the nurse. I was shocked to hear Dr. Rosenberg himself on the line. (I absolulely LOVE that he makes personal phone calls!). Anyways, he asked how I was and tried to make a little small talk but I was ready for him to get to the point. He started to tell me that unfortunately they were not able to do the testing. In order to do the genetic testing they actually have to take "tissue" and try to grow additional cells on it in order to get the results. Because it had been so long, they were unable to get any growth. And therefor, the tests were not able to be done. Unfortunately, we will NEVER know why our baby died. We will have to accept that this answer will always remain unknown. I asked if he knew the sex of the baby and unfortunately he wasn't able to tell me that either. On one hand, I was really bummed that I couldn't get ANY information. But on the other side, it doesn't matter. Knowing why, won't bring our baby back. It won't change anything. I don't like not knowing, but I can live with it. I don't have any other choice.
