End of the road
This is it...we've reached the end. My doctor came last night to talk to us. I have a low grade temp, I'm still leaking amniotic fluid, and there is tenderness where there shouldn't be. My levels are back down to .9. And the baby's heartbeat dropped yesterday because it was leaning against the chord. With the infection setting in it's just a matter of time before I go into labor. If we wait until I get sicker then there's a health risk to me and my future fertility. I'm only in week 21 and a baby is not viable until 24. We tried everything we know how to do and still it didn't work. It worked for a while if you've read my previous blogs, but it didn't stay that way. So today we've decided to induce labor. It will not be easy, but it needs to be done. We want to thank every body for all the prayers. Physically this might be over today, but emotional this will go on for a while. I would appreciate continued prayers to help Jamie and I make it through this.

Misty - you will never know the amount of lives this baby has touched already in is short 21 weeks of life. I cannot imagine what you have gone through during this time but God truly has had his hand in this matter and will continue on. Right this very minute you have hundreds of people praying for you and your family. While you may not know us all directly or even indirectly, know that prayers will not stop today or even this week but we will continue on to uplift you and your husband as well as your families and the staff at the hospital. If there is anything at all I can do, please just let me know (Mandy of course knows how to get ahold of me).

misty, we're so sorry. You and your family will be in our prayers. david and michelle.
ReplyDeleteI know that there isn't anything that I can say right now that will help the hurt. Know that God is holding your baby right now until the time comes for you to meet again. His plan is not always clear to us but know that He is right there with you and He is hurting too. You are all in my prayers!
