Round 1 Do Over...

Well, to tag onto and continue Kel's last post it looks like we are getting a "do over" on the 1st round of IVF. Kel started her oral meds last week, but this time it's one that tries to prevent the development of cysts. This being because cysts are what kept us from moving forward the first time around, so we are trying to circumvent cysts from happening again. She will begin taking her Lupron Shots again this week, to start shutting down her hormones so the Dr's can get in there and take control of her "cycle." We begin this on Thursday (if I remember right) this week, and will stay on that until we get the go ahead from the Dr's to move forward. Our next Dr Appt is Memorial Day, so that will cut our trip to the Ranch a little short, but we will still get to see all the family on her Dad's side this weekend, and we are looking forward to it. As we get further into this cycle, we will continue to update our blog so those who want to know, can be in the know.

We are also trying to get the boat up and running, as this could be our last summer with it, so we want to take advantage of that as much as we can. We should have it water ready within the next 2 weeks, which will allow for plenty of "boating time" this summer if anyone wants to tag along.

On a side note - we had the chance to speak with a wonderful young lady named Lindsay about the potential for living with us for the next couple of months. She is going to be a Senior at Texas A and M Univ, and needs a place to stay for the summer. We had lunch with her this past Sunday after church, and really think she will be a wonderful addition to the Dowdney home this summer. Please pray that she would be able to find a job, and that we would be able to provide her with a great place to stay for a couple months.

Otherwise, that is all for now, we will travel to the ranch this weekend for the Overton Family Reunion...and our next scheduled trip is to the McCann family reunion on the weekend after the 4th of July. So, we have a couple trips coming up, but also have some downtime weekends...which means we will probably be out on the lake. Give us a shout if you want to tag along, as the more the merrier!! DD
