The Woolleys

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers today. Your texts, emails, comments, and facebook messages meant the world to me! We are so blessed to have so many people loving and supporting us.

Unfortunately, I didn't have the peace today that I was praying for. The appointment was very, very difficult for me. They took Rusty into a room to do a test while I waited in the waiting room. The technician came out of the room, upset with someone for scheduling the wrong test and was LOUDLY venting his frustration, where everyone in the waiting room could hear him. He proceeded to talk about all of Rusty's information, including the tests results that we had been waiting for.

I will tell you this. It was not the result I wanted to hear and certainly not the way that I wanted to hear it.

I started bawling right there in the waiting room. Apparently, it created quite a scene because the doctor went in to tell Rusty that his wife was crying in the waiting room. The tech said to Rusty, "She's upset because of the infertility? I guess your wife really wants a baby?" No moron. We are just here because we had nothing else to do on a Friday afternoon. The tech came out to the waiting room and said "Don't worry, your husband is doing fine." I wasn't worried- I was furious!

And for those of you that specifically prayed for God to be creative and reveal His presence to me...
A sweet man in the waiting room handed me a tissue and said, "You just got to give it to God, dear. He'll take care of you." Then the water faucets started again. Oh, how I needed that reminder right then. So that's what I did. I gave it to Him. I sat there and prayed that the tech was wrong or maybe there was another interpretation of the results.
We waited some more and 2 hours after we arrived, we finally got the chance to talk to the doctor.

The good news?
The tech was wrong about the test results!
The bad news?
We still don't have an answer. We have lots of abnormal tests but the doctor can't tell us whether or not those abnormalities are significant enough to cause such severe infertility. If one of the top doctors in the country can't, who can?
So, he recommended that we do another test- a test that I thought they had done the last time. And guess what? Those results take another 3 weeks!

Needless to say, I am very frustrated. I just want an answer. I am trying to have patience, but it's so hard. We probably would not move forward quickly, but that is not the point. I just needed to know if and how we will proceed, when the time is right.

One really good thing did come of the appointment though. The doctor got a lesson from a patient on the importance of professionalism. My sweet, not afraid to confront, attorney husband made sure to let him know what happened. It's a new office, so they are working out the kinks for sure, but he was told today- invest in a door to separate the waiting room from the doctors!!
