Hey all, just wanted to put a quick update and prayer request out there!

This last week has been a little easier, I have felt less anxious and have had several reminders that God is bigger than all of this and He has me in His arms.  Thank you for your prayers, kind words and support as we continue to navigate this bumpy road.

I had an appointment with my doctor on Thursday just to follow up from the DNC from a couple of weeks ago.  My healing has been a little on the slow side, but I’m finally starting to feel more like myself again physically.  The doctor confirmed that all of the tests they ran after the DNC, biopsy and blood work, all came back normal.  No inflammation of the uterine lining, no infection….BUT {there is always a BUT!!!!} it’s possible I will have to have another DNC this week 😦

I’ll go in this week sometime {no date set yet} and will have a repeat SIS.  This is the procedure I had a few weeks ago when they discovered the left over placenta and I had to be taken for the emergency DNC.  This is again just to ensure that my lining is clear of any blood clots, polyps, and of course, any additional lingering placenta.  If all is clear, we will move forward in the next few weeks with IVF.  If there is left over placenta, another DNC will be necessary.

We are praying for good results, that everything will be clear and we get the green light.  Eric has been instructed that he WILL be at this appointment with me…..both myself and Eric {and my doctor!} don’t want to run the risk of a 3rd phone call telling him to rush to the hospital.

So can I be honest?  I’m struggling to stay positive about this procedure.  I’m preparing myself for the worst, for another set back, for more bad news because it’s easier to deal with if I’m already expecting it.  I know that thinking negatively will certainly not sway the odds in my favor, but I feel like neither will staying positive.  So honestly, I’m just trying to stay neutral, give it to God and trust that He will never leave our sides, that He still has a plan for all of this.

We would love for your prayers to surround us again this week.  We know that God hears each prayer and works powerfully through them.  I feel so much more at peace knowing that we have the backing of a praying army, encouraging us, lifting our spirits, and praying for our desire of another child to become a reality.  Thank you!!!
