Asking for Prayers... Round Two

March 11, 2012
6th Anniversary
It has been a while since our last blog. I'm actually grateful that we have been very busy during this "break" (an unwanted break!) We were able to "getaway" to Dallas for a weekend to celebrate 6 years of marriage. I was co-cordinator and a presenter for the Joni and Friends Jackson & MNA Special Needs Ministry: Love Finds a Way Conference. So the time has flown by, but I'm more than ready to get back into the process. 


After our last cycle was canceled, we found out that our doctor was taking a break. ARGH! That has to be one of the most frustrating parts for me. I realize it's selfish of me to think this way. I'm pretty sure if I was traveling from New Orleans to BR everyday (including weekends) to make babies, I'd be tired, too. So for those who might not understand: my cycle and his clinic cycle have to be lined up. My body seemed to go a little haywire after the first round of IVF, plus his break = a long break!


So here begins Round Two...
Tomorrow morning I'll go in for my first ultrasound & lab work to check for polyps and cysts. This was the point in the first cycle that I had to have surgery. I'm nervous and praying that everything looks good. I don't feel up to having another surgery. (who does?)


If all is clear tomorrow. I will start my Lupron injection on Thursday. 


We are asking you to pray that all will be clear to start injections on Thursday. 


Your prayers are appreciated. I'm so thankful to be able to keep my friends up to date on this blog. I'm more thankful that God has provided friends who are praying and encouraging us in this journey.


Love to all,

Post Surgery Update- 2 weeks

Hello!!! I have wanted to update the blog, but I haven't had the energy. It's been much easier to let Kelly send updates via e-mail and for me to make quick updates on Facebook, and then sleep for 3 or 4 hours. For those who aren't up to date, click here , for an overview of how this all began. For those of you who know how it all began, click here , for an update on why I had the surgery a second time. I recommend reading these 2 post before reading anymore, or else you might be a bit confused!!! A s f o r t h e s u r g e r y , i t w e n t w e l l .

T h e y h a d t o c u t t h a t b o n e o u t, s o t h e s u r g e r y lasted close to 6 hours. The difference in the tumor from last time is that this time, the tumor was smaller, but in a more critical area. When he showed us the MRI, the way the tumor was positione...

A Week of Injections... and Frustrations

My IVF nurse called Monday to let me know that I needed to start my Lupron injection. So I had the joy of giving myself my very first injection. It wasn't bad at all. I didn't even feel the needle. I was so nervous, I watched multiple videos, read blogs and so did Kelly - as he is "the back up plan" - if for some reason I couldn't do it. Well... there we were standing in the kitchen with everything sterilized and ready. I grabbed the fat on my thigh and Kelly says, "Oh! My Dad and the boys are here" (they were bringing me banana pudding) so I said, "it's now or never" and I did it without flinching! I was so excited to have done that and it be no big deal... until about 20 minutes later when I began to vomit. So began a pretty long night. I already had a lot of pain from the surgery and then vomiting did not make it any more comfortable. I wasn't able to eat anything but crackers for dinner (not a bad thing for my diet!) The rest of ...

2008 Chickfila Bowl

It was the best of times.... It was the worst of times.... LSU did not have particularly have the best of seasons ( the worst of times ), but we had the opportunity to watch LSU play in the Chickfila Bowl ( best of times ). It was a good game. The End. Oh yeah, here are some pics from the best of times :) enjoy. Other than the Chickfila Bowl, we were able to enjoy staying in Buckhead, which is a great area to visit. There was a Container Store right by our hotel, which made me VERY happy. We also went to the Jim Henson and Olympic Exhibits at The Atlanta History Center as well as the World of Coca Cola in downtown Atlanta. We enjoyed some great food at The Rock Bottom Brewery and The Cheesecake Factory. On New Year's Day, we headed to visit Ben and Kristie Hogue's "practice" bed and breakfast in Rome, GA. (history note: Rome, GA is named Rome because the town is surrounded by 7 hills just like Rome, Italy). We had a wonderful time catching up, reminiscing, and playing...
