Prayer Request

 

My husband's sister called me up a couple of days ago asking me if I wanted to go with her to a doctor's visit about her infertility today in Knoxville because she and her husband were more than ready to start having babies. As we rode up there, I could tell she was a little nervous but shy. She was nervous because the worst thing they could tell her would involve the words, "I'm sorry, but it just isn't possible for you to have children because..." She was also excited at the same time because she would finally find out what the cause is behind her inability to get pregnant.

So as we walk in, Meredith tagging along in one arm, I followed her to the seating area and waited outside as she went in to talk with the doctor. I spent my time talking to Meredith and showing the other women in the sitting area, receptionists included, how well-behaved Meredith was acting. After about an hour, I heard her talking to the receptionist about a surgery date. I turned around and grabbed her purse for her and as she stepped out, I said "Surgery? What surgery?" She had too much information stored up so we hurried to the car to discuss it further. As we sat in the parking lot, she started telling me all about the visit and ultrasound she had done. We then drove to a Fuddruckers to grab a bite to eat and discuss it further.

According to her ultrasound, she has a softball-sized cyst on her left ovary that needs to be dealt with only by means of surgery. We then began to laugh about all the times her husband and my husband (her brother) had wrestled with her and liked to rough her up when she was around. According to the doctor, that cyst could have been there for years, hence, her inability to get pregnant all these years. He was hopeful that after this surgery, which is scheduled on April 24th (April 17, if she wanted a quicker date), she should be able to get pregnant by at least 3 months following seeing that this cyst seems to be the main problem. If after 3 months, they will talk about other means of trying to increase her fertility.

With that being said, Megan and her husband are very excited and nervous about the whole thing. The doctor isn't quite sure about the cyst until he gets in there to see it during surgery so I am asking for prayer warriors from my readers. Please help me in praying for God's guidance and hand in this surgery and that His peace will fill their hearts. Thank you my brothers and sisters.
