As you know September is new born screening awareness month. For those that are first time moms may have alot of questions about it. I did! I realized that not Every state is the same on the time line of when you will get the results.
When my son was born he was in the nicu for troubles breathing at birth. At first I was asking all the nurses that took care of Bentley if they know how long it would take for the results and if they done it already. Needless to say i had to stay on top of them about doing the test on my son. Which i didnt think I had to do. But im so thankful he doesnt have pku other wise I think he would of been detected alot later then he should. Which is a scary thought. My advice to any soon the be pku moms make sure you stay on them about the new born screening. They dont truly understand how crucial it is. Because they don't understand pku
