In January 2013, we started a part of our journey we never thought would exist. We ventured into a world that confused us, that hurt and that made us question just about everything...
I do not know if it is every possible to truly prepare yourself for losing a child... ever! doubt it... but we did and we were told that it was unlikely we would go through it again. They were wrong...
Fast forward to July 2013. Again. Confused. Hurt. Let's move on. Or not?
July 28th, 2013 changed it all. I was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism, a clot in my lungs at 28. I knew no one who had been through this just like when we first miscarried... no one.
In February of 2014, I was cleared.
In April of 2014, I made some serious decisions about my health and fitness and the lifestyle I wanted. I committed...
But the best was yet to come...
Coming in April of 2015, just in time for my 30th birthday...
I am not sharing this for kicks and giggles. I am sharing this because we need all of your prayer and support in a major way. I am giving myself Lovenox injections nightly because of the clotting disorder my hematologist discovered last year. I will see both my hematologist and my OBGYN this pregnancy. I will have my blood checked and no appointment will go underused or overlooked. I will be discussing more with my OBGYN soon what he would like to do differently this time. We are beyond thrilled at meeting our Rainbow this coming Spring but we have a long road ahead of us...
I do not imagine I will post much on this because this process is very personal to me and I want to be very aware of what details we share since it is so sensitive for us but I hope you'll join with us in prayer as we move forward. I believe in this medicine. I trust my doctors. I am trusting the process. GOD IS IN CONTROL!!!
Thank you in advance.
As always,
Melis
