Hormones suck.

Ok, so since I have been on face book a lot of my friends ask how we're doing and there's that question I hate to answer. "Do we have any kids?" Well right now it is a no and here is why. For the past few years Clint and I really haven't been trying, but we aren't doing anything to stop it either. So after my cycles starting coming farther and farther apart I decided to see a doctor about it. As it turns out I am not ovulating. So I have been placed on Progesterone for 10 days to make my cycle come then I will be put on Klomid to make me ovulate. The Progesterone makes me very tired and I am hungry all the time. I've gained 2 pounds in the last 9 days. But the doctors are worried that it might now work, because I have a lesion in my pituitary gland. That is the master gland that controls almost all the hormones in the body. I've known about the lesion since 2002 I was suppose to have a follow up MRI in 6 months, but we lost our insurance. I just got the follow up MRI last month to see if it has gotten any bigger and it has, but not by much. The scary thing is my neurologist on my last visit changed the description from lesion to tumor. But the problem now is, did it just start growing? Because my hormones have only started to act funny the last few months. So we'll just have to see how it goes. We have to get my body back on track before kids are even an option.

Update on Sam

They took everything 6 inches below her knee off. The surgery went very well. The doc's took part of the tibia, the shin bone, and turned it horizontal so it attaches to both bones to give her better support. She got to come home last Tuesday. She is living at Clint's mom's house, so they set Sam up in her front room. She is going back up to the hospital today to for them to re-check her leg and put on a smaller cast. Right now she has a cast that goes all the way up to her hip. She hates it, because it is so heavy. Sam is an amazing little girl. She has such a great out look. She just keeps saying, "It's just a foot. At least I'm still here." Her only worry is about dating. She is worried that no one will want to date her without her foot. We have told her that anyone who meets her will love her, with or without a foot. She is really excited, because a orthodontist heard about her and is going to give her braces for her teeth for free.
