Update!    May 2006

Our reversal was July 20, 2002. Since that time we have had three,
yep that's three, beautiful reversal babies. As you all know Kathryn Rose was born June 19, 2003, Samuel Robert followed November 30, 2004, and Taylor Allen Jene just arrived October 27, 2005.

Everyday that I wake up to these beauties, I am reminded of Dr. Perez and the dreams that he helped make a reality. What a blessing all of this has been.  I know that I am extremely blessed to have our TR babies and I wouldn't change a thing.

I have endometriosis and had numerous problems the last several pregnancies so it appears that this is the end of this journey for us. We still hope to do foster care and/or adopt when we get settled into our new home later this year.

If I could say one thing to anyone thinking about it a TR it would be this:   God knows the desires of your heart and if they are in alignment with His will, He will make it happen. You only need to step out in faith! God took care of everything from child care to plane tickets and other finances. When that happens you can't, nor should you, question His will or authority! He is gracious and compassionate!

Blessings,
Val Bachert

July 2002

We left Baltimore, MD by Southwest airlines Thursday afternoon. Southwest only flies to Harlingen not McAllen so after a change of planes in Houston we landed in Harlingen LATE Thursday night. We got a rental car through Avis at the airport and drove to McAllen which is only about 30 min away. I found a room at the Super 8 right off the interstate that was reasonable. It is right down the road from the Wal-Mart which we wanted so we could get dh food, pillow, blanket, etc for Mexico.

We left Saturday morning around 7:30 for Mexico. We stopped for coffee and still made it to the hospital by 8:20. We followed the directions from the website to the hospital. I hope it does not offend anyone but I saw no street signs once we turned off Mexico 2 so just for clarification it is the first left and then the first right. The hospital is right off the main road!  No one was at the front desk when we got to the hospital so we sat and waited for someone to come out. One of the nurses came out after about 10 minutes. Once she found out that we didn't speak Spanish she made a phone call and took me to my room. Allen filled out my paperwork as best he could and I was put in a gown, given an IV, and taken in for surgery. Levy came in to check on us and make sure I understood what was going on.

I remember going to surgery and meeting the anesthesiologist and turning to get the epidural but that is about it! I also remember looking for and seeing the cross with Christ hanging on the wall above the door, it was comforting. I don't even remember meeting Dr. Perez before going "out." Allen says I woke up several times but I only remember waking up once seeing him there.

I was in a lot of pain that night after the epidural and foley were removed. A word to the wise, I waited to long to ask for medicine, if it starts hurting the nurses understand what "pain" means! The nurses are wonderful, even with the language barrier I thought they were better and more caring than most here in the states. They try very hard to make sure you understand and are comfortable.

The trip back was long and painful! Plan on taking it easy for at least a full two days after you get home.  Levy said we have an 89% chance of conceiving but I don't think it really matters to us what the percentage is. God has been good to us and showed us that this was the right thing to do. We should never have had the money to go so when He provided it and answered our prayer we had no doubts. We feel good about the whole thing.

Thank you everyone for you support and prayers! We would never have found Dr. Perez if it hadn't been for you all.   With much love, God bless you all.
