Max turned 4 yesterday. The whole thing from the day prior really soured me to the day but I tried my best to be positive for my little guy. He kept thinking it was Christmas and asked when we were going to be putting up the tree!
His birthday really should be a few days long as it seems he gets a ton of things. Seriously, for Max, all told, it is about a birthday week! I guess that is what he gets for being about the only grandchild on all sides.
I don’t have a lot of photos of him. I really should have taken more but I will try tonight when he has yet another “party”.
In other news I got my partial schedule for this last cycle. It is extremely draining to be thinking of going through this again, but I have decided to have a bit of down time so it shouldn’t be too bad. This also allows me to keep my oncologist happy and schedule a PET scan.
I will have my PET scan on October 15, and then see my oncologist on October 17. Sometime during that week I should get my period and that will tell me exactly the transfer date. Assuming all goes to plan, transfer will be somewhere between November 6 and 13. This will make a due date very close to the triplets birthday, but I will not know for sure till ultrasound and such if I make it that far.
I really feel like I need a miracle to pull this off. It has been a very long journey to get to this point and I keep laughing that it is all coming down to Baby E (we think). Baby E is older (as he/she was conceived before Max) then Max and we bypassed Baby E so we could do the cycle that gave us Max. So it is only fitting that he/she is who is last to be transferred. Please share my story with whomever you think would like to hear it. I really could use all the prayers I can get now to be able to bring home one of the babies that I believe saved my life when I was going through chemo and radiation therapy.
Thank you!
