GRRR...Disappointing delay :-(

I know I'm making a mountain our of a molehill, but I'm bummed.  Please excuse my whine.

We were supposed to have a phone conference with the new doctor tonight to discuss a file I sent him.  Well, first the e-mails didn't go through, so he didn't get the files until yesterday morning.  Then, this morning I came in early to work so that I could be home in time for his call, only to find an e-mail asking me if we could delay the review until Monday evening.

His reasoning is perfectly sound, as the file is over 300 pages long.  He's even offered to do a quick medical review tonight, if we are up against the clock, and to go over the rest of the file with us at a later date.  But we're not, and we'd rather have a more complete, well-rounded review, so we agreed to put off the call.

The only problem is that my husband's going to be at a conference starting Saturday, and his schedule is packed.  We've had to reschedule for next Wednesday.  Sad

I know this is silly, but I was so excited to see what he had to say today, and to be able to think about it and maybe even make our decision before the weekend, and now it looks like it will be almost another whole week.  A week doesn't mean much in the span of two years, but I was just so psyched for tonight; for the idea that we're finally moving on.

Bah!  Oh well.

They are holding another matching session today, so at least we should know if she's been referred to another family before we our call.  That may save us some heartache.  Maybe they'll even put out another list of waiting children before then, too.

    I don't remember what you spiritual beliefs are but just try to look at the delay as God (or Fate, the Universe ,Etc.) making sure that everything happens at the right time.  I know  the waiting is hard to take.

    That is disappointing. I totally understand your frustration, even if it's a week.

    But hey, like you said, the matching session may open up other avenues as well.

    I hope it all falls into place for you soon.

    Sorry to hear that. It's totally understandable to be frustrated. I always logically say a few days or a week won't matter in twenty years or that things happen in God's time. And both of those things are true. But it still emotionally is so hard to deal with and definitely very frustrating, so I feel your pain. Hopefully the matching session and new list will resolve any uncertainties and make for a really productive meeting. Waiting can be very hard.

    Ugh...I feel your pain.  I know...be patient, etc...that's what we are suppose to do...but waiting sucks!!  And hiccups, like this one, are just plain annoying. 

     

    Hang in there.

    Ugh, I'm sorry.  Every little delay stinks big time...especially when you are in the waiting process. I hope this all gets resolved very soon.
