Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeecchhhh

It's funny how perspectives and personal styles and perceptions of the world around us change over time. For the first time in a long long time, I dug down into the bowels of this blog and read a lot of the entries surrounding Elijah's birth and first surgery, both of which were about two years ago. I was reading through it as if someone else had written it, and I was so super annoyed by the writer. I kept thinking, who is this annoying woman? I used such cheesy, dumb words and phrases, weird punctuation, totally incorrect medical terminology (while acting like I knew what I was talking about), and everything was the most dramatic thing in the world. So, thank you, friends and family, for enduring the annoying writings of Megan and for sticking with us through that. I hope I am no longer like nails on a chalkboard. Actually, maybe I should be glad I am so annoyed by it. Maybe it just signifies positive change in myself. Or something like that.

There was a cute worthwhile thing I wanted to write about quick! Dan said he was listening to a song the other day at home that had the word "God" in it. After Elijah heard that word, he folded his hands in prayer. My heart turned into mush when Dan told me this.

Today is Friday! Have a great weekend!

Totally annoyed

We got to the clinic in Minneapolis this morning and when we checked in, the lady at the front desk said, "Uhhhh, Elijah's appointment is tomorrow, the 16th." Dr. G's nurse told me on the phone, yesterday, to come in "tomorrow." I think that would be today, right? Arrgghhh!!! She said she would go back and see if "the doctor" could fit us in. We waited a while and she came back to tell us that another doctor, who we had never heard of, would take a few minutes to review Elijah's chart and then would be right with us. A few minutes to review Elijah's chart? Ha! Dan and I gave the I-don't-think-so look to each other and told her we would come back in the morning to see Dr. Gremmels.

So...thank you for the prayers. Could you maybe extend them one more day? Thanks! I'll post again tomorrow with actual news.

p.s. Elijah's eyes were NOT puffy this morning and his lips looked a lovely shade of light pink. Praying it stays this way and tomorrow's appointment confirms that nothing is wrong with our little man's heart.
