So anyway when Nathan was first diagnosed with an ear infection on January 5th, the Doctor that day also recommended that he visit a Developmental Specialist. She recommended a Doctor named Dr. Nancy (I'll keep her last name private for this blog) and told us she was the best in the state of Ohio. Well come to find out she was so good her next available appointment was October...2010. So we made the appointment and they sent us a huge packet to fill out. Nathan was then diagnosed with the cancer before we could fill out the packet.
Fast forward to present day. I mentioned because of the effect cancer has on young children the Oncology team recommend they see a Developmental Specialist as well as a Psychologist. The child development department is really hard to get through to, even for us but we told Nathan's Oncologist about the scheduled appointment and even showed her the packet we had. She'd been trying for two weeks to get in touch with them through email and phone calls but couldn't get through. The lady Nathan is to see is supposed to be really good so they're trying to move up an appointment with her due to his current situation. Nathan's Oncologist called yesterday to let us know she decided to just walk over to the building to talk to them in person. She got there and explained the situation and they told her to have me bring in the packet today.
So today I go to the building to drop off the paper work and I must say I'm quite impressed with Nathan's doctor for walking there because it is not a close walk, as a matter of fact Nathan and I drove. The building was beautiful and as we were walking to the Child Development office I passed a woman in a business suit and a sudden thought popped into my head, "what if that's Dr. Nancy." I was only expecting to drop the paperwork off with the receptionist and leave but after seeing that woman, it got me thinking and I quickly prayed saying, "Lord I'd really like to meet this Doctor today." Right after that prayer we found the office.
We got in around 11:30 am and the lobby was empty except one other lady waiting. I rang the bell that was there because there was no receptionist and then a lady appeared at the desk, "can I help you? What time is your appt?" I then explained to her why I was there to drop off the paperwork and let her know Nathan's Oncologist had been in the day before, etc, etc. and I said he has an appointment with Dr. Nancy in October but we were hoping to move it up. And then the lady looked at me and said, "I am Dr. Nancy, I don't know where the receptionist is so I decided to come up when I heard the bell." I was shocked and in my head I immediately began praising and thanking the Lord. Here is this woman who is so good that everyone including Nathan's Oncologist has a hard time getting in touch with, yet God delivers her right in front of us.
She then took the paperwork and came out and kneeled in front of Nathan to meet him and told him she knows he's been through a lot. She asked me a few questions about the paperwork and off she went to check something, I then prayed that she could see him today really quick lol but God must have felt that was enough for one day because her schedule wouldn't allow it. She then came back and said that she'll have someone call us to schedule but she'd be going over the paperwork. But I left there so pumped because God heard that little simple prayer!!!
Lord we come to you so thankful today! You are a God who cares about our little prayers. Thank you so much for letting us meet Dr. Nancy today. Even though I said that prayer I truthfully felt the odds were against it but I should know now that nothing is too big for you. Thank you for Dr. Nancy being able to kneel down in front of Nathan today. Thank you that out of all the other doctors there (about 5), she happened to be the one to hear the bell and come out to the front desk. Lord I thank you that instead of handing that paperwork to a receptionist, I was able to hand it directly to the doctor. Lord you are so good. I pray that Nathan's appointment can be moved up. I pray that the phone will ring soon with a new appointment. Lord thank you that a doctor with her expertise is so close to us.
In Jesus Name
Amen
