Got a pick-me-up in the mail Friday

Our RE had done DH's SA and sent a copy of the report to our Uro.  When I looked at it I didn't think there was much of a change, but Uro sent us a report and his comments were "it's the best one yet".  Yeah, his numbers aren't great, but they're improving!

It gave us a little hope :)
