Quickly, here are the measurements of 13 follicles...yes 13! The number and sizes have grown since Wednesday.
Right Ovary: Left Ovary:
12.4mm 17.3mm
16.9mm 16.4mm
11.1mm 9.5mm
14.2mm 12.8mm
10.8mm 16.4mm
11.3mm 10.7mm
13.9mm
8.9mm
This is encouraging news that we have at least 8 follicles between the sizes of 13-17mm that are big enough to possibly hold mature eggs. I am waiting for the doctor's call as to when to take the trigger (ovulation activation) shot. I'm doubting it will be this evening as my lead (largest) follicle is not yet 19mm. I have another doc's appt. tomorrow and if it's grown 2mm, tomorrow night looks good for starting the ball rolling.
Julia is at the hospital right now getting a blood test to see just where her hemoglobin level is at. It has been somewhat of a trial getting her into Central Dupage Hospital. They weren't willing to take her at first but after a few calls from Steve and our hemotology specialist at Children's Mpls, they have agreed. It was crazy to think Steve might have to drive all the way back to Minnesota this weekend (with my upcoming egg retrieval, just for her to receive a transfusion. Thanks for praying...she now has a scheduled tranfusion here at CDH for Monday at 1pm!
The only concern we have with Monday is that I may need to be in Chicago at RGI around the same time, not to mention our good friend, Deb, needs to be at O'hare airport for her return trip to Orlando. One man, one vehicle, and 3 people needing to be in different parts of the Chicago area at the same time! It kind of reminds me of the story of a boy, 5 loaves of bread, two fish and... Jesus! It'll all come together, I know it will!
If you have time today, please pray for Julia and her body to hold on until Monday, pray for wisdom for our doctor to make the right call of when to start my ovulation and please pray for our friend and co-worker Deb to safely arrive tonight with the snow storm forecast!
