The Baby Journals

We’ll be traveling to Jacksonville for appointment number two next Wednesday (24th).  This appointment will be a doozie.  They told me on the phone to plan to be there for at least two hours.

This appointment will be filled with blood tests, sonograms, a certain “analysis”, and a consult with the IVF nurse coordinator.  Jay’s shaking in his boots about having to have blood drawn – I think I’m used to that part by now!

I haven’t updated about the insurance stuff lately, so here it is.  There are plans out there that will cover certain IVF medications and testing – just not for me.  Apparently I have what they call a pre-existing condition and the coverage I need and want is totally unavailable unless I want to wait another year.  I honestly can’t fathom sitting on my hands for another year while time ticks away.  So we will be paying for this out of pocket.  Thankfully, we’ve had wonderful people like you who’ve donated towards this cause – again we say thank you.  So this appointment is paid for, and we’ll just see where we go from there.

Keep praying…

Just wanted to update and say that I have my consultation with Dr. W in Jacksonville on Tuesday, September 25 at 1:15. The cost for this 35 minute appointment is ridiculous (NOT included in the $10,000 estimate, of course) but we’re willing to pay it (thanks Mom for the Savings Account). Anyway, if you think of it, send up a prayer for us that day, that things will go well and we get the best medical care that we can.

Also…coming soon. Some good news about a blessing that I can’t be too specific about right now, but I promise it will be soon! Keep a look out.
