One Step Closer to Knowing

It’s been another crazy morning for us.  We received word that the CD had finally arrived in Oregon yesterday (it was delayed by historic rainfalls in Seoul).  It was immediately shipped to Philly with a 10:30 am delivery time.  But as luck would have it:  I checked to see if it was delivered and there was a note saying “deliver next week”—come again?  It seems that someone at their front desk called to tell FedEx not to deliver because the doctor isn’t in until next week.  Which we knew, but were hoping to have someone else read it (if possible).  A few frantic calls later and we talked FedEx to re-deliver (whew, a quick save).

But good kharma has not been with us, our doctor emailed to say that there was no one around to review the CD.  The best that she could do was next Tuesday (with a hand delivery to the specialist) and no guarantees on how long it would take to review.  Can we catch a break?

This has really been a struggle getting this poor kid home.  And yes, sometimes I feel like the cards are stacked against us.  But if there is one thing that I know, we have a lot of resolve.  As Mike said, someday we’ll look back on this and laugh.  This little CD has traveled a lifetime:  two weeks to get from the doctor in Korea, historic flooding in Seoul, missed shipping to Philly, denied delivery by a receptionist and finally, two doctors that are unavailable to read it.  Let’s just hope the MRI images are on it….let’s not go there 🙂

And finally, I’m still having a hard time posting pictures to blogger.  The plan is to get the hubby to check this weekend.  Very weird.  As soon as I can, I’ll upload pictures from the baby shower.
