Just want to say thank you to those that have been faithful to check back here even though I haven't been able to post often. We are now battling a stomach virus! FlowerChild became sick Monday night with it. So far no one else has gotten sick, praise God. I am furiously washing hands, keeping up with the extra laundry, and disinfecting everything! I was up for quite a while with her last night. Long about 4:00 am I had some very profound thoughts for the blog. It would have made such a great post. Unfortunately I can't remember a bit of it LOL! My brain is fried but hopefully I will be able to get back on today and have a little something to say. Maybe it's all those bleach fumes.....
Yesterday I went to my regular doctor's appt. They could not find the baby's heartbeat. Ultrasound showed that for reasons that are simply unknown right now, the baby has died. If I do not deliver on my own by Monday, then I will be induced. We know that God has a purpose in every life, no matter how short. Right now, there are a jumble of feelings. I'm sure the coming days will be no different. We went to my son and told him in person. He came on home as he wants to be here for all of us, particularly FlowerChild, as she leans on him so much. We haven't told the girls yet as we just aren't sure how to handle that at this point. Today in the South the snow is falling and they feel like it is Christmas. I would rather let them have that and watch their delight as they play. It's not important when they find out so much as it is that I find the right way to tell them. I will probably come at it from the direction of a premature birth or that the baby is sick. Th
Bleach fumes will do it everytime :)
ReplyDeleteWill keep flowerchild in our prayers and all of your health. Is Guitarman back at school? How is he doing?
Hey Shana!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your prayers. I was thinking tonight that in the last few weeks we have had all kinds of physical trials. First Cornbread was sick, then me, then The GuitarMan was in the accident, then FlowerChild got sick. It's been one after another! So I am praying it stops now, we need a break!
GuitarMan has stayed in school the whole time. Can you believe that??!! He has missed a class here or there with doctor's visits and dealing with pain but he has battled on. He has problems with remembering everything from class from the pain medicine but hopefully his grades won't suffer too much. He is supposed to start therapy tomorrow and I'll be with him then. He's having worse pain in his index finger yesterday and today so I'm glad he is going to be seen again. I'm hoping that's not a bad sign. The index finger was badly broken. So just please remember him in prayer tomorrow. It's probably not going to be the easiest day for him.
