We have been waiting during the past week for the medications I took to induce my miscarriage. It didn't work and I started to get sick. My body basically thought I was 9 weeks pregnant. I was bloated and was having major swelling in my legs and feet. Last Friday I went to see my specialist and he indicated I would need a D and C asap! Not what I wanted to hear but I knew for my health it needed to be done. Unfortunatley because I was so far along I had to have the procedure at the hospital and be put under for it. I had the procedure done yesterday. All went well and I am feeling pretty good today. I am so thankful for my specialist. Can you believe the first thing he asked me yesterday was "How are you doing? I mean not how are you physically but how are you doing emotionally?". It is so nice to have a doctor that really understands not only physically what I am going through but even more importantly emotionally. We have felt so blessed to have this doc and his staff at this time in our lives. When I was leaving their office on Friday several of the nurses that I have built close relationships with stopped what they were doing to give me a hug and tell me it was all going to be okay. They have all added a little sunshine in these truly dark times!
You know who else is my sunshine...my kids! In honor of Thanksgiving I thought I would post a little Thanksgiving book Jonah brought home from school.
*If you could invite a famous person to Thanksgiving dinner, I would invite Micheal Jackson.
*If I could eat anything I wanted for Thanksgiving dinner, I would eat candy.
*If I could thank anyone in this world I would thank The Indians.
