Upon Further Reflection

"Each of us has a fire in our hearts for something... Find it and keep it lit!" ~ Mary Lou Retton

I've had a little more time to reflect on my previous blog post and two things jumped out at me. 

One, the woman, Antonia Leticia Asti, had done her IVF and frozen her embryos ten years ago, which means she was fifty or fifty-one when she had gone through that process! 

Second, her doctor, Orlando de Castro Neto, is the kind of doctor ALL older woman trying to get pregnant and deliver a healthy baby/babies need to have. I LOVED it when he said of the new, older mother, Antonia, "She is an example to be followed and the personification of perseverance," he added, "She did something that most people can't manage," and concluded with this bit of wisdom, "The hardest things in life are the most gratifying." 

Amen!
