Well, I have called the doctor\u2019s office, no answer. Then, I called the next week and spoke to the receptionist, however, she referred me to the scheduler who was out of the office; I left a message. Well, it has been over a week and no return calls. So, guess what I did? Yes, I gave <strong>IT<\/strong> to the Lord. I said, <em>\u201cLord, we are in this together, so if You want to get us an appointment, then You open up the door You want us to walk in.
