Dr GYN and Dr GI visits

 Lillian had a visit this week with her GYN dr.  She has missed mutliple appointments for various reasons on their end as well as her being sick.  They have decided to give her depo shots every 3 months to see if that helps reset her body and then space the shots back apart.  If that does not help her they want us to consider an IUD.   Secondarily, she ordered another bone density scan because Depo can affect the bones.  

We saw Dr GI today and he felt she looked good and blood work has been good.  As we left, they gave us a letter giving us the date of her scope.  It is May 21.  Please pray she is able to get this scope done.  It is well overdue.  Again, due to recent illnesses her pulmonologist has not cleared her for general anesthesia.  

We left and scheduled her follow up appt and went to lunch where she had a total breakdown with huge tears as she questioned me about the procedure.  She also doesn't want to stay in the hospital which is a possibility depending on her other specialists.  This is not typical for her.  I told her not to cry because it wouldn't hurt and then I said, go ahead and cry, it's ok to be afraid.  Heart.  Wrenching.  

He asked us before we left if we had any fun summer plans.  How do I answer that question other than no.? No, we don't.  

In case you're new here, I have been Lillian's primary caregiver her entire life.  I could not return to work after her birth.  By the grace of God and his provision over the years through friends and family we have stayed afloat.  And that is still true today.  

That's the update this week.  Please pray for her to stay healthy.
