Boy have I had enough of those!  This draw was to see if my levels were going back down as they should.  I can feel that they are so the visits to the ob/gyn office seem less than necessary.  But I guess better safe than sorry, apparently there are some very rare complications from time to time.  Plus, I think they check for anemia,.

Now the bad part- I'm handling things "OK" I think. I am doing as well as can be expected and have not been too upset by things like having to go to a baby doc's office for a blood draw.    But today while I was there, they were making the afternoon phone calls.  Some poor woman was getting the same call I got two weeks or so ago.  I felt so bad for her.  They tell you next to nothing- "Hi, your levels aren't quite what they should be. Come back in on Monday and we'll do another blood draw."  I knew more about her condition than she did because I overheard what they said before the call! 

"What do you mean, aren't what they should be?  What do you mean, see ya' Monday?  What am I supposed to do all weekend?  Am I pregnant or not?"  Poor, poor woman.  I could tell she didn't want to wait, they were confirming with my lab tech that she would be available to take this woman's blood at 8 a.m. Monday morning, the earlist possible appointment.  In the meantime she has to sit around all weekend and wonder what on earth is happening and why no one can fix it.   There is just no support out there and no information from your doctor when you are in the in between zone. 

So if you think about it, say a little prayer for this lady and all the other moms out there who are facing uncertainty and waiting for answers.  I pray that they each feel the power of God's peace.
