Specialist Visit

I went to see the fertility specialist, Dr. Wilson, yesterday morning. She was great! She spent an hour with John and I, asked a lot of questions, reviewed all my medical history and records, and did a sonogram and examination. She ordered a few more basic fertility tests for me that I will be having done in the next few weeks. She does think that I'm going to have to have surgery though. These tests will allow her to have a better idea about what is going on with my body before that takes place.
The nurse also called back after my blood work and told me I'm a little anemic, so I'll be taking some over the counter stuff to try to improve that situation. They want me to come back in a few weeks for more blood work to see if it's better.
Please continue to pray for John and I as we work through this situation. We really want to have children, and we're ready to do whatever it takes- but we really want to be led by God's wisdom in all things. Keep praying that the doctor will have wisdom, that we will have wisdom, and for healing in my body.

Know that we're praying for you. Chris and I struggled conceiving Kate and are struggling again. We've seen a fertility doctor this time around and I had surgery for endometriosis. We'll see. Hang in there - God does have a plan!

We are praying for you too! We have friends in the village that are struggling with the same thing right now. It's the right time to get it taken care of.
