Doc Update

I went to the doctor yesterday to have my cyst checked and good news is that is it going down. NOT at the rate the doctor would like to see it go down but it is down to 7.5 from a 9 so it is great news! She has decided to put me back on birth control pills for this month to try to trick my body into ovulating. So we will hope and pray that this method works for us. We are staying positive and praying. I am having trouble having faith that God really is going to give us a family, I know that I just need to trust and lean on him and let go of being in control because I know that I am really not as much as I "think" I am. I should have learned this lesson when finding my wonderful husband but I guess I am a slow learner! I found this bible verse that really hit home and am trying to use it to make me trust in him a little more and that he really does know what he is doing. "God is able to do immeasurably more than all we could ask or imagine."
Ephesians 3:20. It is so true and I know it deep down in my heart, but I have to live like I believe it. So that is my goal!

Other than the doctor, we havent been up to a lot. Casey is out of town working and wont be home until Sunday. He is so glad that he is going to get to watch the Superbowl! And I am happy that he gets to come home and watch it with me instead of by myself. Besides that he deserves a break from working in the freezing cold this week! I feel so bad for him!
Hope everyone is having a good week!

Love,
The Davises

You Are NOT supposed to Share Everything!

This week as been an exceptionaly long week for Casey and I. It all strated on Friday night when I got home from working out Casey said he didnt feel well. We had dinner plans with my brother and sister in law and my nephew at Outback. We made it to dinner but afterwards was when it all started. Casey was up all night sick ( I will spare you the details) about every hour. Well we had a very buys day planned for Saturday and I just wasnt ready to face my husband not being able to help me get it all done! We had to go pick up my niece's first birhtday cake all the way out in Azle and then I had to do an Open House for my Uppercase Living Business in Burleson but still had a ton of things to get done before I left to go. Before we even left Casey got sick and this should have been my first clue that it was going to take a turn for the worst fast. When I got back from Burleson at 5 he was still sick but hanging out on the couch watching television. We finally made it to bed but not for long, Casey was up sick every hour on the hour until the morning. At about 9 I tell him to get ready because I am taking him to the ER. We didnt get there until around 10:30 or so. Remember that I have to drop off a birthday cake for my niece at 12 and help decorate for her party. He gets checked in and he gets put on some fluids and they are running some tests to see what is wrong with him exactly. Up until this point I didnt have much symphathy for him becasue I am unfortunately alot like my mother when it comes to other people getting sick. I am a child of a nurse what do you expect? I have to leave Casey in the hospital with my stepdad while my mom and I go drop off the cake yet again in Burleson. We drop off the cake, help decorate, take a few pics of the sweet birthday girl and head back home. By this time Casey had been dicharged from the hospital and was at home waiting for me to take care of him. He had to call into work on Sunday and Monday. Monday I left him alone at home to get better while I went to work.

Monday night rolls around and guess who doesnt feel so well? That is right, he just had to share it with me! I was trying to watch the season finale of Mama's Boys and I cant becuase I am now in the bathroom the whole time throwing up. This continues on all night every hour on the hour so then it is my turn to go to the hospital to get fluids. I had to stay home from work Tuesday and Wednesday and Casey called in again to help me on Tuesday, what a great husband! I have to say he was way more helpful and sympathetic than I was with him when he was sick. I had to apologize a million times to him for not believing that he was in a ton of pain, because along with this stomach bug come excrutiating stomach pain!

We seem to be doing better now, both back at work but still pretty weak from losing a lot of fluids. Casey went back to work yesterday (out of town) and it was me by myself the whole day. My mom did check up on me, thanks mom! And thank you Casey for taking care of me and loving me, I love you honey!

Trials and Tribulations

So this is our second round on Clomid this month in an attempt for Casey and I to get pregnant. I have been diagnosed with PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome). It has been a short journey so far but it is becoming more frustrating as the days go on. Last month I was complaining to the OB that I was in severe pain on my lower right side and she told me that it meant the clomid was working and my ovaries were responding to the medicine. So I went home feeling pretty good that my body was recating to the medicine like it should, even though I was in severe pain. No pain no gain, right? So when I finished my cycle this month I went in to get a sonogram to check my ovaries and I was told that I have a cyst on my ovary the size of a grapefruit and that we will have to go off the Clomid for a while to see if it would go down on its own. The cyst could possibly flip my ovary over and then I would no longer have use of my right ovary and we really dont want this to happen, it is already hard enough with two. The doctor couldnt believe that I wasnt in a lot of pain from it but I was in December but not this month thank gosh! I go back to the doctor on January 27th, so we are praying that it goes down and we can continue the use of clomid again in the near future.
