          I am including my previous post below. But I wanted to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers. I imagined the blanket of your prayers lifting up to Jesus and the Blessed Mother and that gave me great comfort. I am overjoyed to share with you that my prayers to Our Lady of Fatima and St. Gianna were answered. After the miraculous news that what the doctor's thought was an ectoptic pregnancy bleeding into my abdomen was unbelievably a ruptured bleeding ovarian cyst, I am in awe of the power of prayer that I have been granted another miracle. Following my surgery, one of the OB's in my practice gave us very little hope that the pregnancy was viable if not already gone. We were heartbroken especially after experiencing such grace two days before. I continued to pray for a miracle and anxiously awaited today for a recheck ultrasound. My wonderful Pro-Life OB was so calm and comforting for the exam and I felt a peace even before I saw on the screen a tiny little baby with a beating heart. Blessed Mother and giving mother St. Gianna, you are so good to our family. I will always be grateful and share this story with my children and do all I can to make sure they are children of God. I truly believe this baby was a Miracle blessing.

 Previous post:
 I know the power of the prayers of the amazing women on this forum are powerful, so please pray for me.
 
 I had severe cramping and passed out this morning and and went to the OB. She told me I likely had an ectopic pregnany that was bleeding into my abdomen(I am 5.5 weeks long) and had to have emergency and surgery. I was so sad to be losing the baby we had tried so long for. I prayed the rosary to St. Gianna and Our Lady of Fatima for a miracle and that maybe my baby would survive. They taped my rosary with Lourdes water onto my gown. In surgery they found not an ectopic pregnancy but a ruptured ovarian cyst that had bled into my abdomen. There was no embryo tissue in the removed blood. Also a small sac was seen on ulatrsound in my uterus so they think the baby is where it should be in the uterus. It is too early to tell but the baby seems to be ok. We just have to wait and pray the baby is alive and healthy and that I do not miscarry.
 
 So far I believe I was given a miracle by Our Lady of Fatima and St. Gianna's intercession. Please continue to pray for me.
 
 I am doing better now and my pain is being managed. You must think I am crazy for being on the computer but it relaxes me.
 
 On another note, I live in the same city as Elizabeth Dehority and I assume we are probably both at the same major hospital in our city. I would love to send her flowers if anyone wants to PM me her information. Maybe I could share my rosary that has already blessed me so much with another chance at life for my baby.
 
 Thank you.

          Sorry for the delayed reply to a few of your recent comments. We just got back from a wonderful trip to the beach. I am doing great and so is the baby. I just took a look on ultrasound at work yesterday and saw the baby doing somersaults. It made my day. I have some nausea which is frustrating at times but I just remind myself that it's a sign that the baby is doing well. Thanks again all of you for your prayers and well wishes.
