Waiting

Well, today wasn't the best day. I woke up in the morning with signs of trouble with the pregnancy. I called my OB and she sent me for an HCG Beta test. While I was at the hospital, the signs of a problem got worse, so I went into emergency to see a Dr. He confirmed that my uterus was measuring right for 11 weeks, and my cervix is closed - but these things have always happened with my other miscarriages too. He did schedule me for an ultrasound tomorrow morning at 10:45am. This feels like the story of my life... back to that same horrible ultrasound room... the room of gloom. Later when we got home the OB office called with the results of the beta test. My levels are dropping, which is not good. They should be doubling. So, it is with a huge sadness in my heart that we prepare for the worst tomorrow. Admittedly, I've lost hope for a miracle. I wish I could, but the hope is gone. I was sitting here staring at the phone, wondering who to call. Who can help me? And then I realized, God doesn't have a phone number. He is the only One who can help. He is the only one who can heal. But He doesn't have a phone, and I can't call Him. So, now we wait...

I had a friend who's daughter was in the hospital with doctors all telling her she was losing her baby. They named the baby Shekinah, which means dwelling or settling, and they refused to believe it. They petitioned to their God and he heard their prayers...She is here today. I don't know you, in person, but through this blog, and I know how hopeful you are...I AM PRAYING for this baby that is YOURS...not the enemy's but YOURS.

Heather,
I don't believe it for a second. And not just because I am stubborn :) But because I believe in a God that is greater than medicine, technology, and doctors. Rest in Him tonight while the rest of us act as your own personal prayer warriors!! You and your baby will be prayed for repeatedly tonight!

Christy said...

I totally agree with Lindsey!

Hold fast to the promises of God tonight!

..."Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God". I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, "May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea," and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart. I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be YOURS!... " Mark 11:22-24

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2 Tim 1:7

"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." Jere 33:3

Praying for you tonight and believing for good news tommorrow!!!!!

Heather, I am so sorry you have to endure all of this again. Thinking of you and your baby. I pray that as you enter the hospital that you would feel the power of prayer.
