1 Year LID Anniversary

Okay, so by virtue of it being Thanksgiving Day, I did celebrate my one year LID anniversary with family. The girls had a great time with their cousins and I enjoyed spending time with my nieces, nephew, brothers, sister-in-law and mom. I didn't bring up that it was my 1 year LID. I didn't really want to dwell on it. I never ever dreamed I would have made so little progress in a year. But, it's one year down. One year less I will have to wait. And after hearing tonight that a dear friend has brain and lung cancer, I feel very grateful to still be healthy.

To my DTC/LID groups, I'm sorry I haven't been able to maintain the enthusiasm I had in the beginning. It's so hard to be excited when we have no idea how high the wait will climb to. It could be 2 years from LID, it could climb to 5. Hopefully, things will start looking up in the not too distant future. I'd like to hope my wait won't get longer than 3 years. That's the longest I can even begin to think about right now. I hope we will soon see some sort of speed up. By that I mean, I hope we see more than 4 months of LID's being referred in the coming year.
