All around the merry-go-round the monkey chased the weasel...
Yep, that's how it goes! I'm the monkey, another child is the weasel... one day it will just POP! There's the weasel!
But we could be chasing it for a very long time.
Let me start at the beginning of yesterday. I received a letter in the mail from my insurance regarding the out-of-network provider referral. In it, I discovered that I was not approved for testing or treatment by and MFM, I was approved for a Consult Only. (Bolded and Underlined, just like that).
After that I called to reschedule my appointment with UofI because of my out-of-state schedule conflict. After several phone calls, and transfers - I found my way to the right people. But, they were out for lunch.
A few hours later my call was returned by the Genetic Counselor to just schedule my appointment herself. Which I thought was pretty nice of her. I found out that my appointment is not with an MFM only. My appointment is in their once a month Genetics Clinic, in which my husband and I will meet with the Genetic Counselor, a Maternal Fetal Specialist, and someone else... (unfortuanately, my mind was a little blown during our conversation to retain what type of doctor the third person is.) They will sit down with us for an hour, go over everything there is to go over and then give us their recommendations. We then can go somewhere else to get the tests done if we need to.
Anyway, it sounds hopeful, but also a little disheartening. Since its a once a month deal and I can't make the June clinic, I have to wait until July. But even then I don't really have a new doctor, or a follow up appointment, or a clear vision of where we go from here.
So there you have it - more chasing, more dreaming.
All for the best I suppose, I'm not ready yet to begin trying for another baby anyway.
