Every Little Step I Take

As you can imagine, my husband was very excited when he found out.

Honestly, he was stunned.  He thought with all that the doctors had said over the years, that it would take at least a year before anything would actually “stick.”  LOL.

Silly rabbit!  What a mighty God we serve!  When the doctors say no, God says, “YES!” All things are possible with him.

Takes me back to the Bible verse in Genesis—only this time, instead of the wife (Sarah) laughing at the angel, it was my husband the angel was speaking to when he asked, “Is there anything too hard for God?”

I however, was secretly terrified. I don’t think I thought anything would secretly happen, either…at least not so quickly. I was very afraid…but I brushed off those feelings of fear, and pressed forward to doing what must come next—an appointment with my primary care doctor for “confirmation,” so that all of my medications could be changed.

That day at work, I snuck into my office and made the phone call.  I was very upset because whereas the nurse was telling me that I had to discontinue ALL of my medications because they were in class “C,” they were telling me that my doctor did not have anything available that week, and nothing the next week because she was out on vacation, and the next appointment I could get, would be the Monday after she returned!

This upset me tremendously.  So, I have high blood pressure, I can’t take my meds because they are harmful to a growing fetus, but I can’t get in to see my doctor for over a ten day period? Something was wrong with this picture.

So in the meantime, I could stroke out, and then, both me AND the baby would become a statistic?  What kind of sense does that make?  I asked didn’t she have same day appointments, and they informed yes she does, but those were for people who were sick, and pregnant is not sick.
Man, I can’t win for losing here!  I can’t get in for a same day because I am not “sick,” but making me wait an excess of 10 days without my blood pressure pills was safe?  And somehow THAT in itself was not considered an emergency?  And to make matters worse, I KNOW my primary care doctor!  She would be "HAWT" if she knew the front desk was blocking me like they were! 

So I let the receptionist have it!  I informed her that if she didn't work WITH me, I would just show up, and sit right there in the reception area until they took me to my doctor because she herself in the past, had told me to do just that if I ever had an issue getting an appointment. 

She told me she would do all she could get me an appointment, and would call me back later that day. My initial phone call was at 8:45that morning—I had a call back at 10 saying that they had a “cancellation” for the next day, and would I be interested in taking that appointment.  I said yes of course, and now, I was set.  I asked them what would occur at the visit.  They said they would conduct another pregnancy test to confirm my findings, and then, “depending on those results,” (Maybe I should’ve waved the stick with pee on in THEIR faces? Lol)  they would begin the process of changing all of my meds.  

But, at any rate, I was ok with that. I mean, I had already waited long enough. I could wait another 24 hours for “man’s” confirmation, but we already knew the truth!  Every little step I take, is moving me closer and closer to my dream!  :)
