I guess my body doesn't do well with misscarriages. I started bleeding very heavely around 7:30 last Thursday night and an ambulance was called around 8:30 do to the fact I was getting very dizzy and close to passing out. The one ER was close to ambulances so they took me to an other hospital. Turned out my ambulance driver was nine years ago a high schooler we knew from our old church a home schooled child and he use to baby sit my three olderst ones. lol then as we were waiting for intake at the ER one of the college kids from our church walkes in.. he is on duty in the ER that night and his mom is my oldest Varsity leader in Awana's for the last few years. 6 am they transfer me to the hospital that was closed the night before because they don't do D&C's at this hospital and my doctor didn't have privillages at their hospital. New ER does all the test over again and do to my hemoglobin going up and the bleeding slowed the new docotor on call at the ER decided to let the baby and sac pass naturaly and sent me home around 10 am. Got home and went to be with towels and cucks pad under me. By 4pm I was bleeding through the cuck pads every 15 minutes and by 5:30 I was starting to get dizzy again ambulance was called again and back to the ER. Hemoglobin was down to 8.2( I had left the ER earlier at 11) Normal levels for a female is 12.1 to 15.1 As I am waiting at intake in this ER, our youth pastors fiance walks by, she happens to be a nurse on duty in the ER that afternoon. She wasn't my nurse but she stopped by, she also was with my daughter and her friends the next day and was able to encourage her. I really felt God was with us,. During my 3rd ultra sound in less than 24 hours, the baby and sac passed. They disscussed giving me a blood transfusion, but after an other liter of fluid they sent me home. I have been on bed rest sense then. Today I ventured down stairs to visit with a friend for an hour. Then I came back upstairs to lay down. The kids have been doing a great job taking care of me and the little ones.
I am a homeschool mom with 6 wonderful children. We live in the High Desert in California. After spending 10 years on active duty with the Navy the Lord has blessed me with the opportunity to be at home with my children and school them. We have been blessed with many homeschool families that live around us. They have all been an encouragement and blessing to me.
The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing; but in our culture, we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture."
