The drama continues

Well, just when we thought we could put all the drama behind us for the months of August of September, we discovered it was going to continue.
I went to a follow-up appointment with my OB/GYN on Monday afternoon and talked with him for awhile, he told me it appeared my body was trying to get back to normal and that he thought I would probably be fine in spite of my continued symptoms. I was cleared to resume normal activities including exercise and work and all that. I returned to work and even thought about exercising on Wednesday morning but couldn't bring myself to drag my rear end out of bed, but it ended up probably being a good thing because while at work I started to hemorrhage. Thanks to very helpful coworkers, a great husband and mom, a fabulous medical team and modern medicine... I got the opportunity to have an emergency D&C operation, an overnight stay in the hospital to treat a relatively high fever, and to FINALLY end this whole ordeal.

I can now say that I am almost positive nothing else can go wrong in relation to this most recent pregnancy, and that I'm just glad to have it all over with. Although I'm sure I'm a better person for having the experience, I hope to never have to repeat it.

It will be nice to hear General Conference this weekend! Hope you all get the chance as well!

Happy October!

You are such a strong woman and have an amazing attitude about what you have been through. My heart has been aching for your losses yet you are holding your head high and getting through this with such strength. I think you were already that "better" person before going through this trial. I also hope it's one that you will never have to repeat.

That is so scary! I wish I would've known when this was going on! I would've brought you dinner, taken your kids, or something! Hope you're doing okay now! It was great to see you the other night, but I feel like I hardly got to talk to you! We need to hang out!
