Its 4:43am and just got the bad news
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
Wendy

Morning Wendy,
I am so very sorry to hear that Amanda has lost the baby and hope that she can recover from this quickly and know she can plan for the future. I am sure you felt so helpless on the phone with her but am glad to hear that she did have help close by.
My prayers are with her and you.
Love, Maggie

Wendy, I very sorry about Amanda. I am sure you will be a great comfort to her.
"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful." -- Buddha

Wendy,
Be sure to include your daughter in your own grieving process.. you've been there before and she needs your comfort.. It is so sad when things like these happen to people who would make such wonderful parents when the world is full of children born to those who don't care for them well enough. Keep in mind that this is just her first try and she has many years ahead to try and try again.. my sister in law has the same problem. Miscarriages, and if she gets past that, premature births and incubators. It's truly sad. Her first child was so tiny that he still is a very slow grower. It will affect him for the rest of his life. However, his parents know exactly how much he means to them, and have spoiled the dickens out of him, as he deserves.
My thoughts are with you and your daughter.. I hope she gets well soon, and will be ready to try again...
Love,
Christine

Wendy... I am deeply sorry It is so helpful to have someone helping you in this process. As you are far from her, you have to feel very lucky having nice people around her to support her. I can see she is never alone and a loved person.
I hope she recovers soon and, if the doctor thinks it is viable, gets the mood to try again...
Our prayers are with her and the baby she has lost...
Please, feel free to express your sorrows with us. You are welcome, , because we care for you.
Love,
Tessa.
