End of 2009

Such a sad way to end the year of 2009.  On the 29th I had surgery for the IVF egg retrieval.  On the 30th we got the call from the doctor that stated that all of the eggs harvested are poor quality.  From the sounds of things it looks like chances are pretty bleak for us to have another child.  I don't have the follow-up appointment until the 7th of January so I will know more then.

We have been in limbo in a lot of ways this year.  We still have our house on the market, I have been on the wait list for a hearing dog for quite some time and we have been trying to conceive for over a year.  Hopefully the year 2010 will be kinder to us. 

Fortunately, we have wonderful friends and family that have been supporting us tremendously this week.  This too shall pass.

It was our friend Aylene's 27th birthday on December 29th.
