Dear Ladies,
Thank you all for your many prayers. It was not the will of God to spare our Little One, but He did spare me. Yesterday (Thursday), when I woke up from a nap I started bleeding heavily, and passing large clots. I went in to the hospital. They did an ultrasound and then sent me over to the OB clinic. No one seemed to be as concerned as I was about the amont of bleeding(not to say anything bad abut them, because we are truly blessed withexcellent care there). I knew it was a LOT of bleeding, I have never ever bled anywhere near that much after birth. They did a blood count "just in case".
Well, when the nurse left the room to take care of that, I got up to get a drink of water. When I got to the sink I started to feel like I was going to pass out, so I hurried back to the chair. Thankfully the nurse returned just then. I did pass-out, and gave them quite a scare with BP going down to 62/32. They jumped right on it, as they are very good at doing, and got me going with fluids and got the doctor called in from home right away(wouldn't you know both times I've been in this week the doctor was not in!).
Meanwhile my poor daughter and husband were totally scared by what went on. Dh had been in the restroom when I started to pass out, and dd was sitting next to me. The poor kiddo! But thankfully dh was there to take her out, and they were praying the whole time the staff were working on me.
The doctor advised a vacuum D&C, which I really wanted to avoid. But, I knew from how things were going, and how MUCH bleeding I was having, it was truly the best idea. And things have not been normal for weeks, I have felt REALLY awful. For my health and dh and family, it was definitely the best choice. And Our Lord was truly watching over things, the doctor said things went beautifully. I had dilated fully, so she didn't have to do anymore dilation, and things went very easy she said.
I thank you all so very much for your prayers. The answer was not the life of our baby, but God did miraculously watch over my life. I feel incredibly better, for which I am so grateful. Now I just need to make sure that I don't over do it, since I feel so much better!
Thank you once again for your prayers, support and comfort during this time. Now we just need to be gentle with each others emotions in the days to come.
