Today we had our follow-up visit to Micah's neurosurgeon at Scottish Rite. It is always quite an adventure when we venture down there and see this doctor. He is a great doctor...very smart, but always interesting. He very warmly greeted us when he came in the door and gave Micah a high five. Micah really seemed to take to him this time. Micah was great during the examination, shook his hand and told him "bye bye." The doctor asked how I was doing and this is how the rest of that conversation went:
Me: We are expecting again.
Doctor: When?
Me: April
(Doctor walks back over to the counter, looks at Micah's chart. He seems to be deep in thought, when he looks back up at me and continues his conversation.)
Doctor: Frankly, you do not look that pregnant. Are you getting the proper nutrition?
Me: (Trying to keep from looking too shocked by his comment) Yes, I never looked pregnant with Micah either.
I was not offended by the comment, but thought that it was funny. You would have to know this doctor to know just how funny it really was. This is the same guy that told Charlie, "Your head got big somehow." It gave us a good laugh when we got back in the van. I actually took it as a compliment, because he probably thought that I just looked good for this stage in my pregnancy.
The even better news from the visit is that he gave Micah a good report and discharged up from his practice. This is always a happy moment for us. Micah has had a total of 5 different specialists in less than two years time, and now we are down to just two. It has never been easy with Micah when it comes to the health situation, but the Lord is faithful and He has and will see us through each step. Thank you Lord for another answer to prayer.
