So I am going back.
This time the results came back and confirmed that my growth hormone is dangerously low and that I'm not growing like I should, so we are going back to London. I say "we" this time because they want B to come with me for moral support. The kids are staying with a babysitter whom we absolutely love and know they will be well taken care of. The hard part is that we have an open ended ticket, so we aren't sure how long we are going to be there. We have some awesome friends looking out for us, thankfully, and are very grateful that the doctors are worrying more than we are. That's the way I like it.
I am actually very calm about it all and am more excited to go back with my husband this time than anything. We already bought tickets to Wicked and I have a shopping list of a few things I want to buy while I am there.
1. RED rain boots
2. RED rain jacket
3. Cadbury creme eggs
We'll see if we can find them. I figure London would be the ideal place to buy rain gear. We don't have anything else planned since we aren't sure how long we will be there. We want to visit the temple if we are going to have to stay longer, but we will see after all the testing and such. I don't want to leave my kids for too long. . .
I know I am so calm because of all the prayers and fasting by friends and family. I feel very much okay with everything and I figure, why worry if everything could be just fine? You never know. I am not even going to mention the worst case scenarios that the doctors prepared us for, so nobody has to worry. I figure, let the doctors to all the worrying for us until we know definitively what is going on.
Oh, AND we are going to hopefully find out what we are having this trip, so if you haven't put your vote in for what you think we will be having, this may be the last week!!!

I have been wrong with every child, but just like I chose Duke to with the National Championship in the NCAA basketball tourney, this is my year. I can feel it!!
**UPDATE: I was wrong. Again. But Duke WON!! So I'm thrilled! I am totally excited to have another rough and rumble boy around the house. Can you imagine 4 girls around that time of the month?? wow. 3 on the other hand will be just fine... pray for us!

I'll keep your family in my prayers. Have fun in London, and not that I'd expect anything else from you, but you've got such a great attitude about this.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm glad you are so calm. Enjoy your trip? I seriously hope everything works out and they can figure it all out. Take care.
ReplyDeleteMonique, I am thinking of you! That would be scary for me. I am glad you feel calm and comforted. It will be exciting to see what the baby is! Have as much fun as you possibly can and hopefully all is well.
