May 2, 2011...a day I will not soon forget.

For the past couple weeks my mom has been a regular at the dentist offices around town. Her latest escapade led to a biopsy of the tissue that was infected; the diagnosis is Cancer. It is something called Well-Differentiated Invasive Squamous Carcinoma (whatever that means). She is waiting on a response from MD Anderson to get an appointment. Meanwhile, I had more on my mind than just that; per my calendar, I was 9 days late. I took MANY tests and all came back negative so Monday I decided to leave early and go get a blood test done and then go spend the rest of the day with my mom. That night, Dr. Faro called me with some news that we weren't sure if they were good or bad. HCG-9, Progesterone-4, that is really bad for someone who is 9 days late; however when I went back on Wednesday it was HCG-22, Progesterone-14, so they are going up. Some how, I was not as late as I thought, very unlikely. Since this was not planned, I was not taking my fertility and I was not taking my hormones and still I got pregnant through all those odds....so weird. She told me to start taking my Progesterone Monday night and I did; hopefully we caught it in time to save the pregnancy. As of today, we haven't really told a lot of people, but we probably will tell more next week when I go back for another blood test. I am trying to be reserved in my excitement..... Lord, please let your will be done one way or another, but we pray that you deliver us a healthy baby! Amen.
