Happy St. Patrick's Day! It has been a week full of good luck for the Brodeur Family! 

Lucky things for all....

Jessie: After a year of maturing, she was given her Facebook account back! 

Jameson: Fulfilling his promise of being good and doing all his choirs without asking or at least trying to do so, he finally received his ripstick!

Jillian: She has been has been trying to master a skill in gymnastics for months and, was so close. This week she finally got her stride circle on the bars, with and without grips on!!!

Scott: Although, not feeling so lucky, he is making huge progress on his thesis and today will wrap up chapter 2!!! 

I am so happy for all of my family's good luck! They are all my good luck charms. Each of them have a gift that brings such joy to my life. I am one lucky mom and wife!!!

I too had some good luck this week. No, I didn't get the negative news I have been praying for. Not yet, anyway....I am sure it is coming! The luck I received came in the form of a letter and a phone call. I finally received my referral from Tricare (military health insurance) to go to my first specialist. Yes, I can finally keep an appointment that I keep making and canceling because of no referral. I am finally able to see a Dr. and start to make some solid plans. 

The phone call was from a Dr on base. She is getting ready to go on maternity leave, so she is training the Dr I have been seeing. This week the Dr going on maternity leave went over the patient's records that the Dr in training has been seeing. I was one of those patients. My mammogram report came back inconclusive as you may already know. What does that mean? It means more tests, and they also want to compare these films to my other mammo films. This could take up to 30 days. So the Dr called me to find out where I had the other mammo done so we can get the films sent to Alabama ASAP. While talking to her she realized that the ball had been dropped big time. My chart was a mess. Referrals weren't getting put in, and tests that were ordered may not be the right tests. Why, is this luck for me? Well, this means I finally have a Dr that is catching everything. She is ordering the right tests and setting up the right referrals. So I am finally going to get the answers we have all been eagerly waiting for!!!! 

So, if you have been wondering why I haven't posted any updates, this is why. I have none. Looks like things are finally getting done and I should know something soon. So I am feeling lucky!!!

Gracefully, I look up on this St Patrick's day and ask God to keep me strong, keep my family strong and keep good luck coming our way!
