Does anybody hear her?

An update on recent events for those that care to know.

Let me say firstly, that i appreciate friends and family who truly care and are supporting and praying for our family in this rough time.

Long story short- since my last post ive had some complications, was sent to the ER and had to have a second surgery (repeat of the same procedure) to remove more “tissue” (i HATE the term “tissue” by the way, its a nice way of saying “dead fetus” and it makes me sick. Once a baby has passed away in the womb its no longer called a baby.) 

Ok great second surgery is over, ive been recovering for about a week now and no more complications …until last night. We are watching the Republican debate (http://www.ronpaul.com/) when all of a sudden came upon me in my abdomen. “OH great” i think. We wait it out for awhile, and when the pain didnt go away i give my doctor a call. They advise me (ONCE AGAIN) to go to the emergency room. After all the tests come back we hear good news, no infections. The pain was coming from my uterus. “Why?” you ask? They don’t know. Over a week after my second procedure, i have unexplained-can’t be ignored-curled over in a ball-pain that can’t be explained. Thats great. They sent me home with some pain meds and anti biotics “just in case” theres an infection.

Ok great. Here’s the bad news. We are uninsured. thats right. ive got prenatal visits, an ultrasound, two ER visits, two surgerys and expensive perscriptions that are not covered. We’ve seeked coverage. I’ve been dealing with medicaid and the whole story there is for another blog. Nobody is REALLY willing to hear our story in that particular place. The reason for the title today “does anybody hear her” came about when i heard a song called just that, and was feeling that way reguarding our insurance coverage. When we are in real need, nobody really hears us there.

With all the pain and the health issues going on i am still confident that GoD is on our side.

The good news for today? actually, for the month. The glimmer of HOPE this week is Matt is headed to an interview today. I am confident that it will go well. We’ve suffered enough, I really feel like this is a sign of a changing season (not just the weather) for us.

Its amazing what you have to go through sometimes to REALLY appreciate what you have. Thank you Jesus for bringing me through these storms so that i can grow as a person, spirtually, and become stronger. I know that you are FOR us- not against us. You are the Light, THE TRUTH, and The ONLY way. We strive daily to seek You first. Lead us, Guide us, build us as a family. Keep us healthy and strong and give us wisdom and understanding. Thank you Jesus
