Entering the Hospital

I will make this brief: I am going to be entering the hospital.

There have been some concerns with some lab results over the last week. Today I went to the maternal fetal medicine specialist and found out that there is another problem with the pregnancy, this time impacting my health, not just Emma's. This condition is another one of those rare disorders that "just happens" sometimes and is completely unrelated to Emma's genetic problem. The doctor described it to us today as having "been struck by lightning...twice." We did a little bit of research and determined that the odds of having these two unrelated rare conditions at the same time is one in six million. I couldn't believe it...My world doesn't make any sense anymore.

Over the next week we will be consumed with the stay at the hospital, my recovery and making funeral arrangments for Emma. We continue to be very appreciative of thoughts and prayers but may not be able to immediately return phone calls or update the blog. We want to thank you all, our friends and loved ones, for all of the support you have provided to us.

Sincerely,
Tim and Kim

Please, please, please take care of yourself. Been thinking about you all a lot lately. I'm sure Emma's services will be beautiful. Hang in there...God is good, so, so good!

Our hearts ache for you all. We continue to pray...never ceasing. I know your world no longer makes any sense. Ephesians tells us to pray, with thanksgiving, and make our requests known to God. Cry out to Him. He knows your aching hearts. It is difficult to be thankful for this time, but be thankful to the God who loves you, is never going to leave you and WILL see you through these dark hours. We continue to pray for strength, courage, perseverance and continuing faith. Also for health of body and mind. Know that we love you deeply and will do anything we can for you.
