I just wanted to say that, though I don't really have much to add here to the decision making process, which has already been discussed better and better advice given than I would have, but I did want to say thank you lurkette and the rest for what you've posted, as it has been helpful in shedding some light on the decision making process Grace and I went through and what we need to be preparing for as we move ahead.

I hate to nitpick, but there's a 25% chance a son would have it. That's a 12.5% chance a child would have it. This doesn't, however, affect the rest of what you had to say, it just reduces the likelihood it would come into play.
