Double

There are some things in life where Double is the best thing ever.
Double scoops of ice cream
Double mint gum
Double sided tape
Double play
Double portion

Some not so much:
Double dipping
Double the time spent waiting because college students have come back to town!
Double impacted wisdom teeth
Double break in a bone
And...
Double the size of my cyst in one week.
We went down to Houston on Friday and that's what the latest news was on the size of my cyst. Dr. Roach put me on more medicine so hopefully it will cause the cyst to go all the way away!
As it has been our habit for the last month, we go down to Houston again on Friday the see.

Thanks for all your continued prayers. They have been felt.
Some things to keep praying for:
The meds give me hot flashes and headaches.
That the cyst would go all the way away and we could do the next step
Praises:
Gianna's been a trooper and has enjoyed hanging out with friends.
We found out John's insurance goes until October not the Sept. end date we thought!

If your squeamish about girly stuff just skip this part (Daddy)
Now for those of you who want to know why the cyst matters:
The cyst is producing estrogen. When they give me the hormones to grow my follicles (the things that turn into eggs) the cyst could possibly take away the medicine intended for the follicles and get bigger and possibly impede pregnancy. So we want no cyst to give us the best chance at having a baby.

I love eveything about your site. I love your stories and your updates and your photos. My favorite is probably the pumpkin patch photo, but they are all amazing. I wish I could give you both a great big hug right now. But I'll just pray for you instead. Can you feel it?
