The first night in the hospital involved intense itching (from the antibiotic that I was given) and a blood transfusion -- which I was not happy about, although I could barely articulate why.
I didn't expect to still be childless, one year later. And I am trying not to dwell on the disappointment.
I made plans, and God did laugh.
But He also has lead us down a new path.
Thank you again for all of you support and prayers. One day, I hope soon, I will be able to look back and see why our Lord has chosen this particular road for us.
And I can't wait for that day when we can all look back with you and see why your particular road was chosen! Praying that day is coming soon.
ReplyDeleteJust think, that means in a day or two, it's the anniversary of when you met me!! ;) ;)
ReplyDeleteI know that God has wonderful things in store for you, and I can't wait to watch them unfold.
It's been a year already since your Omaha surgery? wow...time does pass by quickly. Whew. I know it's tough to think about what you don't have...but you are now much healthier and exploring a new route of becoming a family with children. I know I have to keep reminding myself that one of the biggest reasons I went for another surgery was to be healthier.
ReplyDeleteGod is good and His ways are Perfect. He has a wonderful Plan for You.. Prayers and hugs as you walk down the new path !!!
ReplyDeleteYou know, as I was reading this post, it made me think back to where I was a year after my Lap with Dr. Hilgers. It took us six months t conceive after that surgery on 9/13/08 and that conception happened nine years after our our first miscarriage. We were elated, then totally devasted with the craziness of suffering and nearly dying with the rupture of an ectopic pregnancy. So, on my one year anniversary of surgery we were just getting the ok to ttc again, minus one fallopian tube. Only faith led us to keep being open to God's will in tht next year and by his grace we became parents to Joseph 27 months after my lap! I hope that in the next year God make you and your husband parents either through the amazing gift of adoption or natural conception. Either way, you two will be the best parents!!! Our prayers continue for you! Isn't those surgery memories the worst? It was clearly the most painful experience I have ever endured. I still remember trembling and crying taking steps for the first time after surgery!
ReplyDeletePraying for you.
ReplyDeleteWhatever your path leads you and Mr JB to, it will be full of beauty and love, and peace.
ReplyDeletePraying for you on what I know is a bittersweet anniversary.
My one year surgery anniversary was in September. Not a fun anniversary. But, I agree that God has great plans for you my friend.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it has been a year. Wow! I also remember my surgery anniversaries - they are bittersweet. I had so much promise & hope going forward with them.
ReplyDeleteI am praying for you on your Adoption journey. God has amazing plans - I hope you will soon be able to see them unfold!
Wow, already a year! Praying for good things to come - and soon!
ReplyDeletePraying for you & your husband !
ReplyDeletePraying for you girl, I know what you are going through.Same thing happening with us after a laparotomy from Dr Hilgers. God bless that Doc. Please hang in there and HOPE. I pray that soon a baby will come for you guys. I think it will, but God's timing.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading, but not commenting. Just wanted to send you my love. I am happy to hear the avenue you are looking down. You will rock this! Thinking of you as you take the next steps.
ReplyDeleteI feel so much excitement for you, I imagine once you look into your childs eyes, it will all make sense.
ReplyDeletesending you lots of hugs,
Such a hard anniversary - I'm sorry things haven't worked out so far the way you were hoping JB. But I _do_ think God has big plans for you guys, and hopefully you won't have to wait long to realise them.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe it's a year. I pray the rest of your journey is quick! You have been so very faithful...you will be rewarded! You continue to be in my daily prayers.
