No Heartbeat on Ultrasound.

March 1, 2010 By 20 Comments

I am still in a state of shock, so this is going to be short and to the point.  We went in today for a routine ultrasound, hoping to see a good strong heartbeat and a healthy, developing baby and that simply was not the case.  For those of you that are close to us you know that this is our second miscarriage.  We were so hopeful this time was going to be perfect but that wasn’t in the cards, but for right now Donna is doing as well as expected.  The doctors have scheduled surgery for Wednesday morning here at Conway Regional…

Donna and I both have a lot of faith, and we are holding onto that. For the next few days we are just going to cling closely to one another and work our way through this.  We do request your prayers right now and understanding if we drop from the radar for a few days.

    I will be praying for you and your wife constantly. You know that these are the times to rely completely on God. Do just that and let these prayers work on y’alls behalf.

    Hey man. I can’t even begin to pretend that I understand what you two are going through. I am only a newly-wed, and so I have no understanding.

    I do want you to know however that I will pray for you both.

    “God I just lift up this couple to you and ask that your overwhelming peace would saturate their minds, hearts, and spirits. You are bigger than we can understand, and things happen that we don’t understand. But the fact remains that you alone are God. You alone can understand. You alone can heal hearts and mend wounds. God I ask you to just do that. Do what you do best, which is restore broken hearts. In the strong name of Jesus.”

    I'm not a “God's plan” person when things go wrong. We were made to walk in perfection and instead we have a screwed up world where we get sick and babies aren't always perfect and we have to wait until God's order is restored to creation.

    I do know God can be glorified in how we react even if there is some David style anger and questioning in the process. You have my prayers for comfort and guidance.

    I only have the faintest idea what you're going through, right now. The same thing happened to us with our first pregnancy.
    Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Just finding out about this. I hate that it happened to you. The pain is still very real to me from ours and it is something that I would never want anyone to have to go through.

    What a day to discover your blog. Not even sure how I found you, but your last post gripped me both in my heart and in my throat. Your family is in my family's prayers. Your faith encourages my heart beyond measure. How ironic that you would encourage me at a time like this. That's so what faith is about. Godspeed to your family's Angel.
