Talk with the doc...

My Doctor called this evening on his way home from work... He had an emergency surgery and a c- section this afternoon, so it was late before he could call.

He said the high risk doc wasn't concerned. The appearance of the placenta isn't a sign of how well it is functioning. The tests on Levi show that and those are all good at this point. He said it isn't something that changes overnight... It happens slowly.

He could sense that nothing he said really put me at ease. ( I just have a hard time believing that I couldn't be an exception to what seems to be the rule.). And personally if it needs to get to the point of showing problems in Levi's growth or something, that is too late for me. My doctor had said before that he would have no problem putting me in the hospital anytime. But the high risk doctor said she didn't feel like insurance would cover it at this point. I really like my doctor and the high risk doctor and I want them to know that I really value their opinions... It is just extremely hard after all that we have been through to know that there are issues with my placenta... Yet apparently it is no big deal. I want them to know that I am so grateful for their help and care. But as Levi's mom I have do all I can to make sure he is safe.

I have an appointment with the high risk doctor on Thursday morning. Of course we are expecting ice and snow and being that we live 40 minutes from the hospital and they do nothing with the roads here in bad weather, getting there will be interesting... Being from Wisconsin it is still a little strange to me that they don't have any plows here at all. It is really important to me to make sure we get to the appointment as this is when they check him to make sure the placenta issues aren't affecting Levi at all.

So that is where we are at today. we are so thankful that it seems like none of us have caught the bug Anna had. Thank you Lord! It
seems like this bug is sweeping through other families! So we are so thankful our immune builder tincture seems to be doing it's job this
year. :). Greg works from home tomorrow just to be available if needed:).

I am praying for the Lord to cover us in His peace tonight. Praying you are all doing well also. I miss being able to keep track of all of hour blogs from this little IPod... I will catch up...

I so understand your trust in the doctors, yet apprehension at the same time. It's such a difficult balance. Storming the gates of heaven on your behalf. So glad to hear no one else is sick. Love you friend!

Hoping and praying that the roads aren't too bad for your trip to the doctor tomorrow. I also say push for being in the hospital if you are going to feel better being there. Praying for peace for you and for Levi to remain safe and healthy!

Sara, I have been lifting you up in prayer...alot! My heart goes out to you both. We are an EA family and had a high risk pg, but with what you have gone through before I can feel your need for God's amazing peace. Philipians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Big Hugs and looking forward to good news!

Sara, I'm praying. Man, I wish this wasn't how things are going with you, but I do understand. Really, I do.
And I'm praying hard for you and Levi, my friend.

I hope you are at the appointment now and that you're getting a good look at sweet Levi's face. Be safe!

love,
ebe
