Well, the update on my friend's pregnancy is not what we had hoped for, but it's clearly what the Lord had in store for her, so he must have bigger and better plans. After going to MUSC last week for an appointment to follow up on the one at her regular doctor, my friend was told that a miscarriage was imminent. And then they sent her home to wait. She went back yesterday to MUSC to see if there was a heartbeat, and, sadly, there was not. So, she was given medicine to help her dilate do a D&E could be performed this morning. While I am so sad for her and her husband, I feel like this was the best way this could have happened so that it was natural and she was not forced to make a difficult decision she might regret for the rest of her life. I know this will take a lot of trust in God to get through this, but I am so glad this was not her first pregnancy and she has a precious son to enjoy each and every day and a reason to keep on going.
I have to admit, this has been a severe test of my faith to try and grasp the fact that God would allow something like this to happen. It's something I have struggled with these past two weeks, which I am not proud to admit.
Please continue to pray for my friend's continued strength to face this battle of life head on and come out stronger.
In other news- today is one of my favorite days of the year. Opening night of the Carolina-Clemson baseball series. I'm already sporting my garnet at work today and can't wait to get off and go straight over to the stadium for some tailgating and then the game! And I'm hoping the rain in Greenville holds off so we can go to the game there tomorrow- 4 tickets were $100- pretty steep for college baseball, and I really don't want them to go to waste!
Have a great weekend, y'all!
That is so sad! I will continue to pray for your friend!
ReplyDeleteYes, I bought the Living Social deal - eek! It's 6:30-7:30 MWF at Riverfront Park. I cannot believe I signed up for this! I have 2 other friends doing it with me though, so we will all be in pain together. Ha!!!
OMG this cold weather! We are gonna freeze tonight! It will still be fun though! Go Cocks!
I am so sorry to hear this. I will continue to pray for them. :-(
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so sad for her loss. I am praying for them.
ReplyDeleteI am continuing to prayer for your friend and her husband. I hope she does not get discouraged from having another child. I hope the Lord gives her comfort and understanding in the coming months.
ReplyDeleteAs always Go Cocks! Wish I could be there. I will be watching online/tv.
:( I'm so sorry to hear of the awful situation that your friend had to endure. There really aren't answers to explain things like that -- but I hope that God gives them some sense of peace during this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your friend! A good friend of mine had a miscarriage along with many complications a few months ago, but is expecting a sweet baby in September. I'll certainly be praying for you friend and her family that they have the peace that only God can give!
