Well prayer warriors, I know you all have been so faithful praying for our little unborn baby,Matthew Karol, now just bordering 30 weeks... I had an NST ( non stress test) Wednesday, everything looked fine, and then today, after the fetal movement part being okay and active to the U/S of checking the amniotic fluid, the nurse/tech found fluid around part of Matthew's heart that didn't show on wednesday. I noticed it and pointed it out and she noticed it as well. She left to go show the MFM Dr the pics ( for what felt like 10 minutes) and returned saying, he "should' be fine, it just wasn't something she had noticed before, but since we have another ( our third) Cardiologist appt in San Antonio on Monday, they let me go home.. to wait it out over the weekend... Now I am a wreck.. emotionally and all.. usually I hold it together, but I know I am feeling tested through this. Little MAtthew is so active and wiggly inside me.. I find complete joy in feeling him move about. It hit me today, that this could be the week.. I am so not prepared... I came home today and made a phone list on the frig just in case. Please continue to pray for a miracle.. it hit me today, this is really happening.... His heart is Sooooo enlarged on the right Atrium, it makes me teary to see the screen. I need to be strong and hold it together in front of our kids. My appt Monday is at 1:00 CT. Thank you again to all who have sent me notes saying you are offering prayers, novenas, and who have posted Matthew's miracle button on their blogs, I am so grateful to have you all here. Please know I am praying for you.
Update on page 2 and on God's Canvas

I know where you are, dear Emily!
I am storming heaven for Matthew, for you and your husband, and your entire family! Just keep cherishing every little kick and twist. You are not alone at the Foot of the Cross.

Emily, we are still praying for you and Matthew and will pray extra hard this week. Thank you for posting an update...I was gone on vacation and have been surfing the forum to see how you both were doing. I'm so happy that Matthew continues to grow and be active. May you just be filled with the knowledge of the presence and love of God as you undergo this severe trial.

Oh, Emily. Have peace. Have courage. God is SO with you. He picked YOU........especially YOU to be Matthew's mama............and to go through this trial. He will NOT abandon you.
I know it will feel like a long weekend. I will be praying you through.....
