Hugs, Scarlet. Is it possible that T could work on the letter while she's away, or did she say she couldn't until she got back? I know Dr. T usually does a bit of work (answering emails) in the mornings on his vacations, so just wondering if she could do the same, especially with it being so time-sensitive. Though I'd understand if she couldn't. Many (most?) therapists have the boundary of not working on their vacation.

Would she possibly be willing to see you for a greatly reduced fee until a decision is made?And I'm not sure how it works--if they agree to the exception, could it possibly cover earlier sessions you'd had with her? Like if she was requesting the except for, say, March through June, and they don't make the decision until March 30 (and approve it), could it cover sessions you've already had?

In terms of L, it's good you asked, but I agree that her reasoning is confusing. I wonder if it's actually that she's only planning to work a couple days a week in March, as she mentioned how she's not seeing most clients then. Or maybe it's that she's concerned she'll go into labor early, and it will feel worse for you if you'd expected to see her every day? Or that it would be harder for you to go from seeing her daily to not seeing her for a few months? Just some thoughts, but it would have been better if she'd just been honest. Would she maybe allow a brief phone call or video call each day as a compromise possibly?

Note that I'm not trying to make excuses for her--just thinking of reasons that either are completely unrelated to you or that are about her being concerned about your feelings?
