Today Max and I went to Sheba Hospital and spent time with Montaser.
The doctor came in to perform clinical observations and was pleased with the results. Later Dr. Ben, a Medical Geneticist, visited to scope out the family tree from both sides of the family and explained that due to specific facial and other observations, he believed that there could be problems with Montaser’s immune system stemming from a chromosomal issue called DiGeorge Syndrome. After he provided an explanation, Montaser’s mother agreed that testing for this syndrome would be beneficial for her son.
This test normally takes around one month of analysis before test results are known. On further enquiring, he explained this should not interfere with heart surgery or any other medical procedure, however he would meet with Montaser’s medical team and a final decision would be made. This will likely be tomorrow. This will be followed up tomorrow to check if a decision has been made.
