Fourteen Months

Seems so crazy to be posting about it being 14 months waiting for a referral. I don't think anyone wants to hear about how I'm feeling - I can barely stand listening to myself. At 7 months I was all "yay!" Seven months later I'm looking all over for my "yay" and I can't find it.

The good news is that per the conference call yesterday, you are officially in the window. Officially. So I'm hoping for a call for you soon! I feel like it will for sure happen in the next month!

On another note, if you'll email me I'll send you something that might help the wait :) I think you can just reply to this comment via your email and it'll come to me.
