Today, all is calm! Last night was a different story though. Julia's blood test revealed that her hemoglobin was extremely low (6.4) and the doctor here at Central Dupage called us at home and had us take her pulse. Her heart was racing and he recommended we come immediately to the pediatirics ward and have her admitted for an immediate transfusion. At 4:45 we drove to the hospital and Julia had her 67th transfusion. During the transfusion we managed to pick up a friend from the airport, mix my hormone shots and administer them, attend a Christmas pary in the hemotology/oncology ward and take pictures with Mr. Claus! Wow! What an evening.
All is White! Driving to my doctor's appointment this morning there was 4" of snow covering the ground. Beautiful! The girls took full advantage today and went sledding all afternoon down the hill next to our house.
Numbers are in today and here they are:
17-18 Follicules!
3 Follicules are 20mm
1 is19mm
1 is 16mm
1 is 14mm
2 are 13mm
4 are 12mm
2 are 11mm
2 are 9mm
1 is 8mm
What do all these crazy numbers mean? It means that I am ready and will take my trigger shot tonight at 8:30pm! This Monday morning, December 6th, at 8:30am is the egg retrieval! Yeah!!! Things are moving along!
I will update you all sometime on Monday afternoon to let you know just how many eggs were retrieved...I am praying for 10 or more!
Have a good weekend!
