If you don't know us personally, you've missed a lot! I'm so sorry for abandoning ship! Let's play catch up before we get to the BIG news!
March 22nd 2015 something amazing happened. Most of you who know us personally, already know that, despite completely forgetting that I had pre-registered us for another IVF seminar at our fertility clinic, (Sher Institute of Reproductive Medicine STL) we loaded up in the car, late, and made the 3 hours drive! It's so surreal! My husband, who never remembers these types of things, just woke up that Sunday morning like "um,We're supposed to be in STL today" and man was he RIGHT! See, they do these seminars from time to time at their various clinics, and they're very informative. I registered for this one because I had seen they would be talking some about NKC's, autoimmune issues, and intralipids! The first time slot had actually filled up and they had opted to open up a second sitting and then a third. We definitely were not going to make it to our original slot! By another miracle, I was able to get in touch with out Care Coordinator, despite her being busy setting things up, and get us switched to a later time slot! Each couple that attends receives a packet of information and one ticket to write their names on for a drawing.
On March 22nd 2015 our ticket drawn as the winner of a **FREE** IVF cycle!!! This is a blessing that we could never have imagined receiving. Something woke my husband up, Something told him that we had to be at that seminar! Something convinced me that we should make that drive even though it wasn't our first seminar and might not have much new information. We feel like God wanted us there in those seats. There in that moment, where he made a miracle happen.
We are responsible for outside costs such as medications, per-requisite testing and procedures, but the IVF itself is provided! We dusted off the GoFundMe, did a few fundraisers. We have been blessed with amazing friends and family who are eager to help us. We were able to follow through on the t-shirt suggestion and I'm still in love with our design!
So, now for the BIG news.... IVF is happening NOW! January 2016! More to come in subsequent posts!!
It really happened, it wasn't just a dream! You can view the video here: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152640189131761
