If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
My heart aches this morning. Last night my older sister who is 15 weeks and 4 days along called me at midnight to let me know she was on her way to the emergency room. Apparently, she was sitting on the floor, felt a bubble and then a gush. She called her OB who encouraged her to go to the e/r. Hubby and I immediately got out of bed, got dressed and flew (literally) to join her at the hospital. As the ultrasound tech did her stuff, I had to avert my eyes because I saw no fluid around the baby. When I asked the tech what the amniotic fluid index was (she was quite surprise I knew this term) she said "there was none to measure". Sometimes I think I know too much. There my sister was asking me questions and in an effort to not make her panic I kept deflecting to "lets see what the dr. says". I did make sure that they did not *bs * her at all.
She has been given cervi.dil and will be delivering her baby sometime today. The dr. does not want her to do a d&c unless absolutely necessary. We all know how emotional and heart wrenching this process can be so please keep her and her partner in prayer. He is also not taking it so well. My heart breaks that she has to join this community and also that she has not yet even experienced the joy of feeling the baby move or even learned the gender yet.
Please, please lift them up in prayer.
Awaiting my expected end,
Marie

ReplyDeleteYour post made my heart drop, just like mine did others yesterday! I'm so so so sorry for your sister and this horrible loss! I wish this would stop and that we'd never have to hear the word miscarriage again! Please send her lots of love and I'm praying for them and you as you walk alongside her and feel this pain too, once you've lost you feel others losses so much deeper and it's tough!
ReplyDeleteHolding them in prayer. As hard as this is, she couldnt have a better labor support than you. You can walk them through this, give them the strength to hold and name and love their baby, and help them learn to walk in this new stage of parenthood.

ReplyDeleteOh, Marie, I am SO sorry! Please give them my love and let them know I'm praying for them. If you want me to make a little tag for the baby, just let me know. I can only imagine what memories this must have brought up for you. Praying...xoxo
ReplyDeletePraying! I am so sorrry!!
ReplyDeleteI am so terribly sorry.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this. At least she will have you and you will know the right ways to comfort her. So many of us who have been through a loss hear some pretty bad comments from other people who think they are helping.
ReplyDeleteI pray that God brings your sister comfort and peace during this time
THat is so tragic, and indeed very strange that it is happening to your sister. I mean, I didn't know IC ran in families like this. You will be her rock and her inspiration. You beat this disease with the TAC and know how to advise her so that it doesn't have to happen twice. So sorry.
ReplyDeleteI'm extremely sadden for you and your family. I have experienced what your sister is going through in 2008. I was 12 weeks when that happened to me. It has me in tears because I too was sitting on the floor when I started bleeding extremely hard a week following my Dr. placing a vaginal cerclage. Of course I was leaking the entire week my belly dropped and it still didn't dawn on me at the time what was happening until I was in the ER and them informing me there was no fluid around the baby. My heart aches for you and your family. I will keep you in my prayers. I'm so sorry this is happening to her.
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry for your family's loss
ReplyDeleteOhhh Marie!
ReplyDeleteI am just sooo sooo sorry for your sister and you and your famiy as well! It just never gets any easier does it? I shall keep you all in close thought and prayer!

I have not been on blogger this week (alyssas bday) and then I seen your status and a comment about your sister. i just read this now. my heart is hurting for her. I just dont understand HOW many babies heaven needs?? Her baby will always have a special place in my heart because of the birthday. Please extend my sincere love and sorrow for her. let me know if there is any way I can help you/her. My FB BLM page has so much support for recent losses and poems etc...
I am so so so very sorry another loss has happened to your family...to another mother. I know that you will be all you can for your sister and many, many prayers are going up for you and her.
