Tomorrow...

...tomorrow ... is the big day to meet Professor Cone. I have my list of questions ready and I'm prepared to beg for genetic testing.

There have been some results published about a study on dogs that cured achromatopsia with gene therapy. That's pretty exciting. The tough thing about having Charlotte participate in a study (not that we've been asked) is that her condition isn't life-threatening and gene therapy is at the forefront of new (risky?) medicine. If a family had nothing to lose by persuing new treatments (ie. Your child is going to die or be severely disabled regardless) it would be an easier choice, but how can we choose something for Charlotte with an uncertain outcome when the alternative is still a full and happy life?
