Post Doctor Visit

Misty had her post op visit today with her OB/GYN(s). We saw 2 because we feel like there are 2 doctors that have been involved in these past 2 weeks that are now very dear to our hearts. Dr. John Woods and Dr. Cynthia Lassiter have been more than Doctors to us in the last 2 weeks and made it extremely easy to come in today. They were very pleased with Misty's progress and sat down with us and chatted about the past week and what all we have been through. We gave them each a picture of Amelia and I think it really meant a lot to them that we remembered them. Dr. Lassiter is a real encouragement to Misty considering she had 3 kids after the age of 35 and never once did an amniocentesis! Not that we are even considering what our next steps are but I think Misty felt a reassurance to hear her say that. She also reminded us that she was so proud of us for making the choices for Amelia that we made last week. She strongly believes that it is best to bring the baby into the world and allow God to work his plan for the baby.

We also stopped by the Birthing Suites floor and handed out some pictures of Amelia to our nurses from last week. We also donated some more clothes to the NIC unit for babies born unexpectedly. They were so thankful for the clothes.

We also scheduled an appointment with The Amelia Center this afternoon. Our counselor there is a God send for us right now. I know I have praised them in a lot of our posts but I can't stop talking about what a great resource they are for us. After meeting with them we had a good understanding where we are and where we need to be. He gave Misty some very practical info for returning to work when she is ready.

I want to thank everyone again for their prayers and support. The food has been PHENOMENAL!!! You know that is very important to Ben and I!
