IVF JOURNEY

Well as some of you may know Parnell and I have been trying to have a little bundle of joy for a few years. It has been a very frustrating and discouraging and heart wrenching few years. But all of these feelings have changed. Back in November I decided to try and get a hold of my fertility doc. Well after messages and more messages left, I received a call back saying that the doctor wanted to see me in her office to discuss more test and blah blah blah. I had enough of the run around and became frustrated, so I looked to find a new fresh set of eyes and ears. On November 19th I meet a new doctor. She was really nice and listened to everything I had to say and when I was done she looked at me and said "wow, you and your hubby have been through hell" She then went on to say that she wasn't going to put me through a battery of test and running around and that she felt the best option would be to do IVF (In-vitro fertilization) and set me up with blood work. She did however want me to go through one test just to make everything down there was looking good and healthy. Below is a list of everything that has happened since that meeting. I truly feel that Dr.Plante is going to be our angel and give us the bundle of joy Parnell and I have longed for so long...

Breathing is overrated

My close friends who have known my for years know what im talking about when I recall things like: Laughing till I cough up a lung or the fog rolling in when I blow my nose. More privately are the restless sleepless nights caused by not being able to breath or coughing myself awake. Lisa god bless her has learned to live with relentless snoring on the nights I can sleep.

Last winter while exsurting myself while shoveling I experienced the worst couging fit yet where I literly coughed so violently I nearly blacked out. At this point lisa demanded I see a specialist for my breathing problems. Long story short the drs were attament that surgery was required. But I let my fear of hospitals and doubts about time off at work convince me to ignore the need.

A year later and the cold weather has returned to inflame my breathing issues once again and this year seems worse then ever.

With good news possibly coming in the coming months my thoughts on the future have changed. My health and well being and ability to care for my loved ones has become a prority.

To that end earlier this month I had a re-evaluation and once again the dr was amazed that I can even breath at all the way my airways currently are.

In order for me to breath normal ill require three surgerys that decided to have done all at once...

Early to mid feb I will be in the hospital to have my tonsils and atnoids removed and then reconstructive surgery of my nose to correct a severe septum deviation.

Long story shot: they are gonna roto rueter my face to remove all airway blockages so I can finaly breath normally...

Im very scared! But im more afraid of dying in my sleep.

Ill share details of when and where when its all sorted out

But it could be as soon as feb 11th
