Welcome to today's edition of Connections Abound. The point of Lost and Found is to level the support playing field. When LFCA works correctly, the newest blogger with the smallest readership can receive the same level of support as the oldest blogger with the largest readership. Anyone can submit news to LFCA by clicking here.Lost and Found is open to anyone in the infertility, pregnancy loss, adoption, pregnancy-and-parenting after infertility, assisted conception, living child-free after infertility or loss community (as well as anyone I inadvertently missed on that list). Please support the list as well as anyone posting announcements below.

- Amy is home from having her gallbladder removed. As she recovers, she is trying to stay positive about a suspicious bump on her kidney.
- Helene's rainbow baby Joshua, will be turning 2 years old in about 5 weeks. He loves animals, so she had planned on taking him to the zoo that day, but she has just received the devastating news that the eye cancer that he has been fighting since he was 7 months old is taking over. By his second birthday, he will either be blind in one eye, or in the hospital undergoing his second round of intra-artereal chemotherapy. It is a fairly new treatment which has proved to be successful in certain cases of eye cancer, but it involves significant risks and side effects, and she and her husband have 1 week to make the choice. More than ever, they are in need of love and hope, so please take the time to send some their way.
- Kaitake and her husband have just had a successful surgical sperm retrieval. This post documents the procedure in detail. Come over and celebrate with them as this is the first success they've had in their IF journey!
