Just a quick update on my doctor's visit this past Friday. After receiving my blood results and ultrasound, Doctor Dabat has confimed that I am not pregnant and there is nothing wrong with my ovaries. All of my symtomps are a result of IVF and the after effects. He has prescribed me medicine to get my system back in working order. It's a relief that I don't have any physical problems resulting from IVF but a little sad as I had hoped that by some miraculous act that I was pregnant. :) I can now move forward and leave all of these questions in God's hands!
Going out now for a walk in the mountains with my family to get some clean, fresh air!

" Maxi Magazine" Women's Health Magazine Interview Saturday
Eversince our return to France we've been receiving calls from journalists interested in publishing our story. We haven't returned calls as we've been trying to process our past 7 months and get back into a rhythm as well. We did give an interview to " La depeche" newspaper as soon as we returned to France but have held off other interviews until now.
Saturday, a journalist, from a woman's health magazine " Maxi", is flying down from Paris to interview us. He knows of our journey and our results but said it was just too beautiful of a story not to publish.
Upon our return, I have not received my normal menstrual cycle (13 days late) and this has caused more questions and blood tests and gynecological visits. At one point last week we questioned if somehow I was pregnant!?!? However, a blood test this morning confirms that all of my hormones are incredibly low and shows no signs of pregnancy. Tomorrow I will visit my gynecologist and have an ultrasound to hopefully explain my enlarged stomach, fatigue, nausea and sore back. I have almost every sign of pregnancy without a pregnancy.
Julia is receiving her transfusions every 5 weeks and medically she is doing well. However, She is going through a hard phase of not wanting anything to do with hospitals, blood tests, doctor's visits, or transfusions. She is growing up and is becoming more aware of her sickness and exerting her will in things that concern her.
Steve and I are continuing in Association Julia. We want to help other families find help and healing for their children while they are still able.
And in the upcoming months I plan on visiting many different organizations and individuals to thank them for their help and see how I can be of assistance to them.
