After our meal we headed to the clinic. It was while we were waiting for the doctor to check my uterus that I realized God intervened to saved Wil's life in Thailand over 30 years ago and I believe God's taking us back... full circle. He performed a miracle back then. There are no coincidences in life, when we look back we can see God's careful planning. Wil fell off a 2 story building flying a kite, fracturing his skull which caused internal bleeding. He had to be operated on, or he would die. At that time, his family was living in a refugee camp in Thailand, so brain surgery wasn't really available. But through only what can be explained by Devine intervention, a brain surgeon happened be vacationing in Thailand and heard about a young boy requiring brain surgery. This surgeon didn't just sit idle, he volunteered to perform the surgery. After the surgery, the surgeon told Wil's parents that one of the following things would happen: become a vegetable or have some level of brain damage (major or minor). But I sit here today, able to tell you that God saved him and he really has not suffered much in terms of brain damage... at least not that I am aware of.
The point of this story is that God revealed today that we have come back here to Thailand seeking life... God saved Wil's last time and now we're praying that God will provide us with a life...it's a full circle... circle of life...
I had the opportunity to meet and thank our egg donor this morning. I thought I had things under control until she stepped forward to take my hand. That's when I could help but tear up. I thanked her and hugged her telling her that she was God's blessing to us. By the way, the embryologist was able to retrieve 20 eggs from her! We were expecting 12... and we would have been very thankful for that in itself.
We will find out tomorrow the quality of the embryos and be able to implant a few eggs into me next Friday. Meanwhile, I feel like a drug addict. I'm taking 4 sets of pills 2 -3 times a day and going in for "butt" injections for Progesterone every 3 days for the next week... I really despise needles and I recall telling the nurse that I thought only babies get shots in their buttocks... I also noticed today that the combination of drugs makes me dizzy and light headed for 30-90 minutes afterwards...
My highlight today was visiting Asiatique, where we had dinner at a beautiful restaurant overlooking the Mekong River. We also managed to get half price tickets to see a Cabaret show where all the women performers were "lady boys"... not as entertaining as I had hoped it would be... It started off promising, but both Wilson and I were dozing off towards the end of the show. Thank goodness we only paid $20Cdn, instead of $40Cdn the foreigner price...
The WiFi at our hotel really sucks... I tried to have a FaceTime conversation with my sis and we would lose connection every 30 sec or 1 minute... our 10 minute conversation was taking over 30 min!
