Prayers needed for my kids please

10 years ago

My new DIL just called. She got a call from her midwife this morning, after glucose test and ultrasound yesterday. The baby stopped growing and heart has not developed after 6 weeks. She is 9 weeks. She has had no symptoms of miscarriage. The midwife thinks it is possibly because of her endometriosis and that the baby probably didn't seat in a good spot. If she doesn't miscarry before Christmas, they will abort after Christmas. I feel so bad for them. She is 31 or 32, and they weren't sure she could get pregnant with the endometriosis. DS is at work. She has two boys, 8 & 13, who are so excited to be big brothers. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. This is on top of being the first Christmas with my Dad gone, will make it extra hard this Christmas.

You guys are wonderful! I talked to Gaile last night. She took Shelby to the opthalmologist again the other day. Thankfully, she is fine! No sign of any problem. The doctor doesn't feel she needs to be seen again for this potential problem, but Gaile said she will continue to take pictures of Shelby to see if the "glare" shows up again. The doctor Shelby has been seeing is well versed in this rare eye cancer, so we feel pretty confident she knows what she's doing. None of the more recent pictures of Shelby...and we've taken a lot of them...have shown the same reflection the Christmas Eve photos showed. Gaile is into photography and will be taking many pictures to see if it shows again. She is still nervous about this and will follow through on it. After a little while, I will mention she might take Shelby to yet another doctor...to be sure...just incase she isn't already planning to. I can't help but wonder...like a couple of you have mentioned...with all of the prayers going out for Shelby right away...could she have been healed before she even saw the doctor? Only God knows! The whole thing is very puzzling...no one but Shelby had that glare in their eyes, and there were a lot of other people in the pictures that night. Thank you all for the prayers. I'll never forget you for them! I love you all! ~Sandy~

I almost feel as if this message thread is my psycho therapy. lol Bob was doing very well today. He was surprised that they let him have water this morning so soon after the surgery. After his bypass surgery, they didn't let him have water for about a day because the lungs can fill with fluid from being under anesthesia for so long. We won't know until they exam the section of colon they removed as to whether it was cancerous or not. The surgeon "thought" he got it all. So I imagine more tests are in order to know for certain. I have mentioned in my past posts that I have fibromyalgia. After a day at work, even though I have a job where I sit at a computer all day, I am totally wiped out. So Bob does all the cooking around here. I have trouble standing for very long so it is difficult for me to cook. So at the hospital, he is giving me ideas for food I can make and telling me the best way to cut onions so my eyes don't hurt as bad. Tonight he was telling me how to steam the rice he gets. I just let him ramble on because I know it makes him feel better. I was so glad I had a clogged drain so I could ask him how to unclog it the past few days. It kept him talking for about 45 minutes. Today I was able to tell him that I finally got it unclogged. He was so excited when I told him his tomato plants had little tomatoes. He is doing very well. They were waiting for him to fart. I guess that is a sign that things are going well. If that's the case, I must have one healthy colon! lol So keep up those prayers that Bob finally has a good fart and that he is cancer free! Thanks so much for being my therapists! Love, Kathy

Bedtime prayers with your kids?

We were never a family to recite rote prayers - most of them are too scary for children. We simply gave thanks for the day and asked for blessings for family and for those in need. That "Now I lay me down to sleep" is just plain scary in it's first iteration. It's a bit better with the "See me safely through the night", but even that implies that something might happen during the night. I've never been a fan of recited prayers, and I never will be.

I'm up late so would like to hear the latest if you want to talk. I know you have been on the go before this with your puppy ordeal and then taking your kids to school. You must be exhausted as you enter into this new difficulty. I hope you have positive news by now. Hope you sleep tonight as you need to the fuel to think positively and hear what the docs are saying. I give you my prayers and energy.

Thank you all.

Jeaninwa, the midwife says the baby is already gone, she just hasn't miscarried yet. But you are right. So hard.

Ah, I feel for your DIL and son. I went through the same thing over the holidays in 1978, although I was supposedly 12 weeks along. I never did show signs of miscarriage and pregnancy tests kept coming back positive, even the blood ones. Sometimes the body reabsorbs the tissue but a D&C is necessary to clean everything up.
I hope the new year will bring better news for their family. It isn't an easy situation to face.

What a misfortune ... and to come when everyone else is happy (or, supposed to be, and usually appear to be) makes it all the more difficult, feeling that one is out of the mainstream. Especially at a time when many in our society are celebrating the successful birth of a child.

I also send good thoughts to the couple in their bereavement, even though they never got to hold the little one in their arms.

And they have the added burden of their earlier worry that the pregnancy might well not happen, which could well extend into the future, even though that is not top of mind to them at present.

May they find some peace of mind as they face the situation at hand and work through it, a day at a time ... and may the others who are close to the situation find it, as well.

I offer some prayers on behalf of all of you who are involved in this really hurtful loss.

We are wondering if maybe the midwife is wrong. So far there have been no physical signs of miscarriage. We are praying that she isn't as far along as the midwife thinks. If she isn't, then everything is ok. DIL will make them do another ultrasound after Christmas. We are praying hard. No matter what the outcome.

Thank you all so much.

I am reading this late because I was on vacation, but my first suggestion would be to see an ob doctor. There are many levels of midwives, some with not much training. I can tell you horror stories of situations I've encountered. Perhaps by this time they have some good news? I'm sorry if I missed a later post giving an update.

I am so sorry to hear this. I had typed a message after your first posting but I must have not hit enter as it didn't show up. I went through the Christmas holidays one year, not being sure if I had miscarried or not. All the blood work kept coming back positive but no signs of fetus. Sometimes the body reabsorbs the tissue - I know that isn't easy to hear but it happens. A D&C might be in order to make sure all is ok.

I know its a difficult time - my prayers are with your family.
