Two DNAs! Wow! I saw a special on cable about that. It was very interesting. A woman almost lost her children because DNA tests came back stating they were not her children. It was so weird. Her doctor said he delivered them, but the courts did not want to accept that as proof. That would be a nightmare for sure.
I suppose you could contact the doctors at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston Massachusetts. They have experience with chimeras.
Seems there is a building belief that maybe chimeras are not as rare as it was first thought. Maybe each of us has a little bit of chimera in us to some degree. But we don't have the problem you do with respect to transfusions and transplants. I wish you all the best.
