Friday:
Leave house at 6 am. Drive right to St. Luke's hospital, Ultrasound at 12, meet with doctor at 1:30. We were there for almost 4 1/2 hours. Everyone we encountered was very caring and compassionate. We really liked the doctor a lot. Dr. Silber was very detail oriented and explained everything to us in depth. I had a list of questions and he answered each one and let me walk through "what-if's" We are very pleased and have decided to go with him for our next round of IVF. He gave us a 55-60% chance of success with a high chance of twins - we shall see.
I've already emailed their office a few times this week so we can "transfer" the frozen specimen we have with our Nashville doctor to them as a "just in case" such a lovely use for $520, don't ya think?!? They also said they would write a letter for me to attach with my grant applications - I am very impressed with their willingness to help Cody and myself have a family!!
From there we left and met our buddies, Chad and Krable at the hotel. We went to Harry's to have appetizers and drinks. We then went to Landry's for dinner and more drinks. What a great night - that is until Chadillac woke me up at midnight pounding on our door!!!!!
Saturday:
Cody slept and has a "migraine" until about 1 in the afternoon - Chad, Krable and myself went to the zoo and walked around in the rain. Boo - it was still fun because WE bring the party!! We went to the Cardinal vs Cincinnati game and had a hoot of a good time!! ;) Once they pulled the tarp and had a rain delay - top of the 8th inning - we went back to the hotel and got ready for dinner. We ate at the most fabulous Italian restraunt - Cunetto's and went to see the movie Limitless - it was really good!!
Sunday:
We found a nice little breakfast place called Rooster and ate yummy crepes and other yummies! I had Nutella french toast - YUM YUM YUM!!! Then we headed home and had to get back to reality! Boo ;(
We had such a blast with our fabulous friends! Our doctor visit was very up-lifitng and I have hope that this will work! I wish we had the funds to do it today; but it will be January before that happens! I pray that we get grant money that will help us pay for the procedure too!!! We are thinking that we will do the actual procedure in March 2012 for funding reasons and if we were to spend about $3,000 on medications and then get caught in bas snowy weather and can't make it to the doctor on "the" day - we would been up the creek and have to start all over and buy new medication. So, to play it safe we are planning the target date, as they call it, for when Cody is on spring break. We will need to plan to be there for 9-12 days total with me making a day trip about a week prior for an ultrasound and blood work.
I'm ready to get this show on the road!!! ;)
great news!
