Well they rushed Amanda to the emerg, and she has just gotten home. They checked her over and did some bloodwork and the doctors told her that it looks like she is miscarrying. Certain levels of something or other should be around 20,000 -30,000 for her being 7 weeks pregnant, and she was 4,800. They are sending her for an ultrasound on Monday, and to see if she will need a D & C. Earlier this evening I kept her talking on the phone to see if I could tell if she needed to go to the hospital, and I could hear her suck in her breath every few minutes, and I knew. I couldn't get there myself, which is an awful feeling to not be able to run to your child when they need you, but her in-laws are great people and her sister in law is just across the road, so while I was on her cell with her, she called them and they rushed over to take her to the hospital, as Ed her fiance wasn't home from work, and I didn't think she should wait by what she was telling me. Poor kid is crying her eyes out. And of course it had happened with me twice, so I know. They will try again once she is ready, but she wants to have a gyno and doctor that deals with women who have difficulties getting pregnant, and being able to carry the baby. Since it has taken her a year to get pregnant, it might be awhile once again. Poor kid. The good thing is that most of that year they were not taking the fertility meds, only the metformen for the PCOD, it was only when they added the other meds that she was able to get pregnant. And of that she only did two or three cycles. I don't know if I should be telling you all this, but I just needed to go over it all in for myself to convince myself that she will be able to have a child. She is just so good with children. Her little nieces live across the road, and the oldest one calls her "her Amanda". She has her come over to bake cookies and just to visit, and so forth. But Amanda just dotes on the baby, who is just 6months old right now. Guess I am more worried about how Amanda is going to handle this, it really hasn't hit me fully about her losing the baby.Well since it is so very late in the evening, or should I say it is very early
in the morning, that I have to try and get some sleep.
I will talk to you later on tomorrow. Thanks for listening.
Gentle hugs
