Twiddling My Thumbs

I should be at work today. Everyone else woke up griping about spring break being over. Everyone dreaded seeing the kids. Here I sit, in bed, planning my day, trying not to over think.

I called last week and got my leave of absence taken care of. Making that call was so sad. Having to verbalize what was going on to a stranger wasn't fun. I also went to work to get things in order on Friday. I had all these intentions. I barely could breathe. Poor Grumps watched me run around with my head cut off. I left it all for my team to take care of. I feel awful.

My mom is having more tests run today at the cancer hospital. We will get more answers on Friday. I got more information about her physical state and the cancer yesterday. It continues to break my heart. There hasn't been a day I haven't cried.

I am holding onto faith. God is in the middle of it all.

________________________________________

Last night I triggered, or should I say Grumps did. He did a great job considering he was scared to death. I caught the spear action he took on me from the corner of my eye. I freaked just a bit. I am sore today. We go in for retrieval tomorrow morning. I fly out to my family Wednesday afternoon.

I cannot thank you enough for your strength through your comments and emails. I feel surrounded by all of you.

Oh, Sunny! I am so SO sorry...how heartbreaking....I don't even know what to say....

I don't have to tell you that you know your Mom would want you to take care of yourself and Grumps...

and that God is watching over all of you.

Big Hugs,
Pissy

There isn't a day that has gone by that I haven't thought about you and your mom and your family, Sunny. I can't FATHOM what you are going through right now. Such a mix of a emotions with IVF right in the middle of such a HARD HARD time for your family. My heart breaks for you. I don't know what I'd do without my mom. I'm glad you are able to go and be with her. Much love to you and your family...

Lots of love and hugs being sent your way!!

As if the whole situation isn't cruel enough, you are having to endure it while hopped up on injected hormones and soaring estrogen. That's just not right.

I am glad that you are able to salvage this IVF attempt. I will pray like mad for a successful retrieval and an amazing fertilization report. For Pete's sake, you deserve SOME happy news right now.

Please know that I have thought of you, cried for you, and prayed for you every single day. I will continue to do so, and I hope that your trip to be with your family is drama-free.

xoxo

Sunny I'm so sorry to read your news, may you have a real sense of God's sustaining arms around you. May his comfort be very real to you. If you could look at this passage it might help :) (Isaiah 40:29-31)
