I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! We had Anthony’s brother Kevin here, and our Army friends over. I spent the entire day cooking, and then cleaning it up after we were done eating, but it was so wonderful to spend the day with Kevin and our Army family since we didn’t go home to California. I didn’t have to go in for another monitoring appointment until yesterday, so we had the entire weekend to have fun with Kev! On Friday we went to lunch and shopping in Panama City Beach, and Saturday we went to the Iron Bowl in Auburn. The fans are diehard, like nothing I’ve ever seen! They go all out for their teams. I wish I would have taken more pictures around campus so I could show you what I mean.
Yesterday morning we said goodbye to Kevin, and headed to an early morning appointment in Birmingham (Montgomery is closed on weekends). Thankfully, we spent the night in Montgomery, so we only had to drive a little over an hour. The appointment went well; the nurse didn’t count all of the follicles, but she measured the 9 largest ones and from what I saw it looked like there were more than 11-- fingers crossed! My estradiol and progesterone are still on track, and my endometrium is looking great. She said it’s looking like my retrieval will be on Thursday. I have to go back for another monitoring appointment tomorrow and unfortunately my main nurse in Montgomery (the good one, not the one I don’t really like) had a family emergency and is going to be out. This means another trip to Birmingham tomorrow, and for my retrieval later in the week. Lots of driving, but hopefully it will pay off with positive results!
