Our Loss

Some of you may not have heard that God decided to take our baby from us a few weeks ago. I found out Monday during my 16 week check up when the dr. and I discovered there was no heartbeat. After double checking with an ultrasound, I went home to share the bad news with the rest of the family. The next day, our good friend and neighbor Gen, helped us find a doctor in town who would perform the operation so we would not have to go to the abortion clinic as recommended by my doctor (now ex-doctor). Anyway, graciously Dr. Manas took me in and started the process that evening. I had an amnio and we are having the fluid tested to determine what went wrong after 14 weeks. On Wednesday I was admitted to the hospital for surgery and was there 7 hours! I went under and was really glassy eyed and groggy when I awoke, but Dave was there the whole time. He has been a great support to me and I am so thankful for him! So has all our family and friends who have sent cards, and food, and food and tons of flowers and plants! It is so nice and comforting to know so many people care for us and we appreciate all your kind words and prayers for us. We are not too discouraged although a bit grieved at the moment, for we know God makes no mistakes and has a better plan for us. We are comforted knowing He is merciful if there was a problem with the baby to take it now rather than later. Thank you for your support, and once I heal in a few months, we will just try again!
