“I’m not God.” She said it again today. It wasn’t the first time our dr. has mentioned her all knowing inability. Delivered as most other pieces of information, the good news, potential bad news, facts and potentialities, this statement I find most comforting. Though there is much we can see, there is much we cannot.
The ultrasound today continued to reveal new things, confirm what we’ve been seeing for several weeks now and allow us to see the little one God is creating inside me. This is HIS realm. We were excited today to see our little one move. For the past 7 weeks we have been watching a baby with little to no movement. In comparison to early pregnancy movement it’s very little, but after such stillness this was beautiful.
Movement is aided by fluid in the womb and today we saw more fluid as well. We are not sure how much is there, but it is the most there has been since I lost it week 15.
Good news was tempered with questions of what may really be happening with the fluid inside. Our ultrasound was able to catch a view of a membrane that has detached from a layer of membrane usually connected to it. Fluid was inside this membrane, as well as outside. Inside is likely amniotic fluid, praise God! Some question remains as to what the other is. Could it be more amniotic fluid, or is it blood? The latter may suggest internal hemorrhaging, though I have no visible clinical signs. Blood panels were taken today and results should return soon regarding this issue.
Thank you for your continued prayers. We know God will do that which He has purposed!
Dear Lois and Grant, You have been in my heart and prayers, as has been that precious little life you have been struggling for. As we await the arrival of our 2nd grandchild, I can only imagine what you have gone through. Praise God that He is there with you, able to take you through the hardest of places. Continue to hold his hand, knowing He will never let go of yours. Know you are all loved. Lois
