The Other Shoe Is Dropping

The first shoe is obviously the fact that we are having to go through this whole process to get another baby in the first place. Kind of like our adoption plans falling through, I think we were both kind of wondering when something would go wrong with this process.

In the course of about 18 hours, from last night to this afternoon, 3 separate and completely unrelated financial whammies have occurred, which will at the very least, postpone our plans a few months, and maybe permenantly...unless we win the lottery (which I must keep reminding myself that I have to actually buy a ticket for that to happen!) or have a rich unknown relative pass on and leave us a fortune (not likely).

We're still reviewing things to see what we can do. We do believe there are some errors in some cases that will be in our favor when corrected, but it's not enough. We were going to be scraping the bottom of the barrel for the extra $1000-$1500 we'd need each month for the treatments/appointments/drugs, and I'm 99% sure that's not going to be possible in the next few months.

I'm going to wait another week before calling Dr Pinto to let him know things are on hold.
