I know that the previous post (I deleted it) said we were going to allow the miscarriage to happen on its own. For many reasons, we've had a change in plans. A lot of factors to consider with something like this. Not knowing when this may happen, where I might be when it happens, or how severe things would be if allowed to occur naturally is difficult when you have an 18 month old child to consider.
I guess it might be different if there had been any physical warning signs of a miscarriage. In that case, I might think it could happen on its own pretty soon. As it is now, the only indicator we have is the ultrasound. There's no way of knowing how many weeks things could go on just as they are now.
We have a D & C procedure scheduled for Tuesday, September 16th. I'm scheduled to arrive at the OB/GYN office at 8:45 AM for blood work, etc. Then at 9:00 AM I'll have a pre-op conversation with Dr. Tosky (he did my c-section with Noelle). At 9:35 AM, I'm supposed to be at outpatient surgery to check in. Dr. Gausmann will perform the D & C at 11:35 AM. I think the procedure itself takes about 15 minutes, but they said that I'd be in recovery for 1-2 hours. Since this is an outpatient surgical procedure, I'll go home the same day. Although we have a peace about things, it's sad and it's difficult. Please pray...thanks so much!

What a blessing to go to those friends who have been down this road. I'm so thankful you've had people to help you understand this difficult process.
We ache for this loss and know -at least medically - that there was a good reason. Still leaves hearts to heal and lean even more on God's loving, caring hand --- along with all of us who love you and are holding you up in our prayers.
will be praying for you and for your body as you go through this process. i'm thankful you've had friends who have "been there" to help you with your decision and to encourage you. praying this will bring you and chris nearer to each other and to the Lord as you lean on Him. love you!
I too am thankful that you have had sweet friends to talk through about your options. We'll continue to pray that God will hold you guys close and comfort you, and now we'll also be praying that He allows your body to do what it needs to do so you won't need a D&C ... and that His timing will be perfect and not keep you from caring for sweet Noelle.
If, however, it does become difficult - physically or emotionally - to care for Noelle give me a call or shoot me an email and I can come pick Noelle up and take her and Jocelyn to Marbles or the park to give you a little peace!
I'm praying Kristin. Please call me if you need anything.
Love you!
We will be praying for all of you during this time and we know that God will give you strength and comfort. I know we are far away, but if there is anything we can do, let us know.
Love, Dan & Karen
oh Kristin, I just caught up on your blog today. My heart is so sad for your & Chris this week. J & I will definitely pray for you tonight since you go in tomorrow for the procedure.
Know that we are praying for you
