Merry Christmas!

There’s no controlling when that 856 number is going to pop up. It had only been 4 days since we opened the case with the insurance company. I was told it could be another two weeks before we heard anything. That would explain why my heart came to a screeching halt when my phone started to ring in the middle of my work day. It was the 856 number. I didn’t have any upcoming appointments. I wasn’t waiting on any results. This call was the determination of our fate. My hands were shaking so bad, I could barley swipe right to answer the call. “Hello, this is Jennifer,” I managed to get out. It was Sandy on the other line. “Jennifer,” she paused. I pulled out my trash can. I thought I was going to vomit. “Congratulations, you were approved to move forward with IVF,” she said. I let out the biggest sigh of relief. I was holding my breath, and I didn’t even know it. I started to cry, thanking her over and over again. She told me they wished they could do this for all of their patients, but that she was so happy for it all worked out for us. She was genuinely excited for us to be moving forward. She said it passed as soon as it went before the insurance nurses. I thought about Susan. I knew deep down, she was the one to give us the green light. I hope some day she comes across this blog and knows how grateful I am. This news, meant the world to us. It came at the perfect time, and it was everything we needed and more.

Sandy went on to explain there were going to be some things that were not covered, but I blacked out at that point. The season of miracles was upon us, and God made his presence in our journey known. We were filled with so much faith. Christmas had come early, and we were one step closer, to our greatest gift.
