A Miracle!!!

Today was a roller coaster of emotions. So much has happened in such a short amount of time. But, amongst the craziness, we had a miracle. I truly believe this miracle came from the many prayers given, from those who have been fasting for us and the special help of an amazing doctor. Thank you! The Lord heard those voices that spoke in our behalf. We truly feel so blessed this evening.

This morning I woke up with a lot of Anxiety. Today was the day I was suppose to call the Specialist's office back to see if I could find a way to get Aaron in sooner than August. I was scared that we wouldn't get in, that would have already filled their August slots and that we'd be waiting months before we got the help we were seeking. I of course had a very busy morning with other responsibilities so I didn't get to the phone until noon. Luckily, my sweet friend took Emmy for me for the afternoon so I could call and get things sorted out. I called as soon as I got the chance. But, stupid me didn't think that calling a Doctors office at noon is not a good time. They of course were out of the office until 1:30 for lunch. The next hour and half were awful. I kept thinking of what I could say to convince them that we needed to get in ASAP. Finally, at 1:30 I was able to get a hold of the specialists secretary. They were very nice, but gave me no hope. They pretty much told me that there was no way we were getting in earlier. She did say that if I had my referring doctor call and set the appointment up then they would maybe be able to get me in. I told her that he had already done that. She checked for Aaron's name and said it hadn't been done. I asked her if I should just make an appointment for and she said it wouldn't be until September now! My heart sank. She said to have me call the referring Doctor's office again and see if he could try again. If not, then call back and she'd set up the September appointment. After the conversation was over, an overwhelming sadness it me like a ton of bricks. I got on the computer and emailed the ER doctor that had referred us to the Specialist in the beginning. I felt so bad bugging him yet again. BUT, he was really our only hope at this point. I then sat down and between tears and prayers told the Lord that I had done all I could do, and the rest was in his hands. I had to come to terms that maybe the Lord wanted us to do something else, go a different direction or to be patient and wait. I decided I would wait one day to hear back from either the ER doctor or the specialist and if I didn't I would go ahead and make Aaron's appointment in September and we'd keep seeing the Nuerologist until then.

The Miracle:
A few hours later I was driving down to Provo to meet Aaron for a baby doctor appointment. I got a phone call from Aaron. He said, "Thank you for whatever you have done!" I was like what? What happened? Aaron replied that the specialists office had called and informed him that Dr. Foley had rearranged his schedule to make a slot for Aaron to get in TOMORROW! I about died when I heard. I burst into to tears, with every type of emotion bursting through. It was a miracle! Truly a miracle!

Once Aaron and I were alone and could talk he looked at me and said, this whole experience, the fact I went to the Riverton ER, we had Dr. Hasleton there, who just happened to know the best MS doctor in the west, and became our advocate, pretty much getting us into one of the hardest doctors to get into... is a complete miracle... no really... a sign that the Lord's hand is in this all.

Today a friend sent us this quote which was truly so fitting for the day:

When through the deep waters I call thee to go,

The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow;
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress

As our day went on, many other things came about that has made me reflect how true it is that the Lord is with us through it all.

We did have some other tough news about some dear friends of ours. I sit here tonight and think, we truly can't predict what the future will hold, what our lot in life will be or how we will face the trials ahead. But, we can rely on the fact that they Lord will not leave us alone and that with his strength we can overcome all things. We also saw today the ultrasound of our soon to be baby. It was also an assurance to us both that this little life is another miracle in our lives. That it will truly be another testimony to us that the Lord loves us and knows us each.

We will keep you updated about how things go tomorrow. Loves to you all who care so much!
