 :bow;     :bow;    :bow;   I am so relieved, I found out this afternoon that my son's ultrasound on HIS kidneys, was normal. At this point, he has no cysts on his kidneys, I was super happy to hear that. It was such good news! (I was getting frustrated tryiing to find out from his paediatrician whether or not his test results were normal and they were. He had the xray way back in Aug)    ::)   

I found out yesterday that my one twin daughter has inherited my PKD gene.     :(   :'(     :(    :'(

That's great news about your son, not so good news about your daughter, but at least you found out early right?  What are they reccommending? Or is there like a 50% chance even though she has the gene, that it will pass on without affecting her?  (I don't know much about genetics).

Boy, talk about the good news and the bad news. Happy about your son, not so much for your daughter. But, hey, if she needs a transplant, she has a twin.
