It's a good news/bad news kind of post

We all love good news first!

Logan has NO optical swelling! Yay! His vision has gotten slightly worse than last year, but no glasses yet. I figure the poor kid is in for glasses eventually anyway.
All his extended family wears them except for his daddy and his aunt.
Little brag. My boy has known every letter in the alphabet by 15 months. Each year they say, "oh, he's probably not ready to do the letter chart, right?" Um...yes, he can, and he did last year too! *clap clap clap*

The drops were hard, but he was a trooper!

My appt was interesting.
At first the doctor was your typical big headed, 'I know everything' kind of doctor.
When he started to ask questions and REALLY get into my report, his mood changed like night and day.
We took more labs. They still came back abnormal.
I have to go back next week to do some more labs to check for Factor deficiencies.
Seeing this all regards my body's ablility to clot when injured, questions are being asked about the surgery I have scheduled for Sept 9th.
What, if any, precautions should be done before hand.

Idea's of a possible diagnosis were brought up, and the thought of it is really unappealing to me.

My regular doctor, the one who just wanted to put my on BCP's and call it a day called me yesterday. This is like the 7th or 8th time he's called me. I can't stay mad at him because I DO genuinely think he cares about my health. He said he saw the new labs and wanted to call and see what the doctors were doing, if I had anything he could help me with, etc...just to check up with me.
Then, he did something that once again proved himself to me.
He apologized.
He said, "I'm really sorry that this has all taken so long to finally get you to the specialists you need to see."
I took it as, I'M sorry I took so long to SEND you there.

Yep, I'm glad he's my (and Miles') doctor. His bedside manner is amazing.

So, yeah, I'm a bit blah about everything really. It's just...I just want to be NORMAL again.
miscarriage, Infertility, Pregnancy, HELLP, post HELLP...now possible retained placenta and bleeding problems. Damn! I just want to STOP going to the doctor!
I just want to stop getting poked and prodded. I want to stop telling my story to different doctors and nurses. I want to stop seeing that look of, 'oooh...this is interesting! Let me ask more questions'
I want to just go ON now.
