Nance,

I'm so glad to hear Stephanie is a bit better. Scary enough if it happened to you, but to one of your babies . . . indescribably scary. Still praying up here . . .

I wish I had the time to address each of you individually and thank you for your prayers and your thoughts.
I cannot ever express what it has meant to me...I have even seen some names I am not even familiar with.

An update on Stephanie (Matthew is doing just fine and had his little surgery yesterday to prepare him for society).

Another Dr. has been brought in and he gave her another 2 units of blood last night. He was concerned about her red blood cell count. After checking it again this morning, it is still quite a bit lower than he wants it to be...but he feels certain she can bring it up herself now. They are going to get her up for a short while today and try walking. He said she can walk about the house but for 6 to 8 weeks she is to do nothing...so I imagine I will be here quite a lot.

Anyway, talking with her this morning she said the extra units of blood last night have made her feel better...she can tell the difference. She is so thankful that Matthew is doing fine and there are such wonderful nurses there to care for him.
She said Pete has got a 3 days growth of face fur...poor guy, I know he has got to be getting exhausted and she keeps trying to get him to come home to clean up and rest just a bit, but he won't leave her or Matthew.
I heard Matthew on the phone and I started to cry...such a tiny little voice.
This has been a real trial for me and I thank you so much (again) for your prayers. It is such a comfort to me to know that so many people are holding my Stephanie up to the Lord in prayer. It is obvious we have got His attention.
Blessings,
Nancy
We may be able to go see them both today.

I just found your post and had to let you know that I am also praying that everything continues to go well for you and your family. My daughter's life was also saved by receiving 2 units of blood when she needed it...so this is a reminder to all of us...the importance of giving blood (when you can). It really saves lives.

Best Wishes

Kathy is right, for those that can, it is always important to give blood. It saved my father's life many years ago too. I'd donate every year if I wasn't diabetic. We should be offering a prayer of thanks to the donors of the blood Stephanie received. They could have very well saved her life too!

Thanks for the update, Nanc! I know you have a lot on your mind right now so I really appreciate the time you take to sit down and give us updates. I hope you were able to see them today.

Hugs,
Daphne

Hi Nance,
I'm late in on this one. I'm sorry to hear Stephanie has suffered such an ordeal. Childbirth and all those hormones flying around are difficult at the best of times, but so much more complex when things don't go to plan.
How lucky we are to live in the age of modern medicine, when such things can be treated!!
The partial hysterectomy is unfortunate, but at least her family is complete...would be devastating for them if Matthew was their first child and it meant no more.
Thinking of you all, and offering prayers for Stephanie, Matthew, Pete and yourself....how lucky is Stephanie to have you to help...must be such a load off her mind.
Hope you don't get too tired in the coming weeks..it will be a tad stressful no doubt.

Oh Nancy- your report was uplifint, I am glad that things seem to be turning the corner. I am very very partial to the name; the PETA Prince is a Matthew. And a goofy on at that, but always a blessing. I pray the same for your Matthew.

You are right, your son in law is a true gem, I will pray for his strenght.

Rest well, my sweet, you have gotta be a busy gal right now.

Hugs to Jennifer and you and praise that things are looking better! :)

Nancy - This brings tears to my eyes. I can't imagine how this felt for you and your family. Stephanie is already blessed by a wonderful Mom and Husband. Thank the Lord for the Health of little man Matthew. Surely the life and health of this 4th child can ease the pain of having a hysterectomy. That must have been so hard for Pete and the rest of the family. I am keeping you in my prayers. bear_original Keep us up to date on their progress.
