Results…
A couple of weeks ago Chris called and said, “You’re gonna find this so funny.”
Immediately I knew that was a total lie but I played along.
“Okay, what’s that?”
“The doctor sent a postcard in the mail and our appointment for the 22nd has been cancelled. Something has come up at their office.”
Seeing as the 22nd was a Friday, I feel 99.9% certain that what “came up” was, well, a Friday afternoon before school starts.
“You’re right. That’s hilarious. We’re only been waiting for that appointment for 5 months but hey, it’s not like we’re finding out something important like say, if we’ll be able to have children. Oh wait…”
“Well, the first appointment we could get was the 27th so that’s only a couple of days later.”
Seriously, only a couple of days and countless hours of continued OCD thoughts about the entire appointment.
So TODAY is the day we finally find out if the treatment we’ve been undergoing the last 5 months has been successful. To say I’ve been giving this day a great deal of thought is perhaps the biggest understatement of my life. I’ve thought of almost nothing else. I fall asleep at night trying to avoid thinking about it. Instead, I think about expanding our patio or what I’ll wear at the first high school football game.
Or, I obsessively clean the grout in the kitchen and guest bath. See, you knew there was more to that.
We realize that the results will likely give us two very different paths. There are pros and cons to both and really, I’d be okay with either one. We’ve discussed, researched, read (Did you know there’s a book on infertility in the “Dummies” series? Not kidding, Infertility for Dummies) and, not the least of which, prayed then prayed, prayed and prayed some more.
In all honesty, we both realize it doesn’t matter what the results are because either way, the journey will continue. The Lord is in control of this process and we trust He will guide us and comfort us along the next path. This is just a fork in the road and I’m pretty confident He’s already waiting just a head of us on the path we’ll been given.
Thank you for all your prayers and emails. Last Friday turned out to be such a blessing with a phone call from Mrs. Preacher Man and Chris’ friend, Dr. Bulldog. We know our friends and family have been praying for us each step of the way. We could not ask for more and feel we have been tremendously blessed already through this journey.
