HEART ...Needing your thoughts and prayers

[Finesse]

BOX and I had some offline dialogue a couple months ago …He asked me to keep the board up to date as to our progress …. Well guys ….We need your thoughts now .

Last summer my wife became pregnant with our first after a long bout with infertility. We had tried for years with more Doctor intervention than I care to think about. Finally, and totally to our surprise, she was with child. We were ecstatic with joy !!! This for all intense purposes was our little miracle as we were told at one time it may never happen.

Several months in things went bad …. We lost our child. We were crushed …I never knew I could become so attached to something. I’ve never felt so low and so much pain as the day we were in the Obstetricians’ office getting the ultrasound and seeing the face on the technician doing the sonogram … I could tell thing were not good , my wife’s eyes told a very sad story that was about to unfold. As we tried to gather our thoughts and composure and left the one office to go to another office to see her Dr, it seemed the entire staff knew what had just happened. As we drove to the other office we did not have the “official word” that we had lost the baby (that has to come from a Dr), even though we were certain of the outcome. Talking with the Dr was unbearable as she told it was the end of our little miracle baby. I’ve never seen so much pain in a persons face as I did that day in my wife’s.

The Doctors wanted her to attempt to get pregnant as soon as possible …once again there was trouble. Another infertility work up was needed.

Well, through the grace of God, she became pregnant again. Things were carefully watched as this was now considered some what high risk. She made it through the critical months, a few hiccups, but made it through. We were out of the woods…… that was two months ago

Today, at 23 weeks today, we spent a good deal of this day in the hospital …. as last night and early this morning she was having contractions. An incredible stressor was put on her yesterday … I’m beside myself … just thinking back to the pain of last year. That plus we have had even more time to become attached …. We have “pictures” of our little one that make this very real. We also know the sex. To lose this one, at this late date, would be unbearable. I have worked in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit … and 23 weeks is dangerously early to give birth. The contractions subsided and baby is still "onboard". Sometimes too much knowledge is a bad thing.

Thankfully, at this time, Mom and baby are fine….THANK GOD !!!!

So Guys …. I feel funny asking … but just keep us (and Lil’ Finesse) in your thoughts and prayers ….

That is stressful for sure... We lost our first and Mini was early with some contraction issues at about the same week. (Braxton-Hicks) It all worked in the end... I'm pulling for you...
