12-7-08

The beginning...We had a little bit of a scare tonight. Macy had been throwing up early in the evening, and then she started bleeding. She went to the hospital. After the doctors and providers did exam, ultrasound etc., they said that she is experiencing what is called placenta previa. Basically, the placenta is between Zoey and the door. She probably has a small rupture in the placenta from the vomiting which is causing the bleeding. She is staying in the hospital overnight. She will be put to bed when she goes home for the next 10 weeks until Zoey decides to arrive. Zoey is doing very well. Macy and Zoey are a bit dehydrated from Macy throwing up earlier in the evening, but they got the IV started and are going to get her hydrated. Macy is not in any pain. She is a bit concerned and upset, but was better when Shelly got to see her tonight.

We are praying that the bleeding will stop and that the placenta will move up in the womb. We are also praying for the peace that passes all understanding to come upon Macy. The less her pressure is up, the less tears, the less stress, etc. the better for her and the baby. Mark is doing well and we need to pray for rest for him and peace. Doctor Mooney (who delivered Spencer) said he will know more in the morning. We will keep you all updated.

Thanks for your prayers of faith. Our pastor preached on prayer today and praying that God’s kingdom will come and that God’s will be done in our lives. God is at work in Macy and Mark’s life through baby Zoey (whose name means “life”).
