Family Update

Sarah and I went back to the Doctor today to get an update on the baby.  If you didn’t know, they told us last Wednesday that the baby no longer had a heart beat.

We have been in a fog so to speak the past week waiting to go to the Doctor again.  While we were initially devastated by the news, as we began to pray and others began to pray, we felt under-girded by the Holy Spirit.  I was so full of faith that I expected a miracle.

The news from the Doctor was not good.  Our third child has passed away.  We are heartbroken.  There is really nothing more to say on the matter other than Sarah will be undergoing surgery in the next week.

I would like to take the time to thank everyone who have prayed so diligently for us in the past week.  Your calls, cards, and words of encouragement have been a blessing.  I would also like to thank Lori Goss and Dr Nguyen for all that they did.  To Helen and Dock Churchwell, thank you for being there for us and being friends tonight.  To Kathy Lawrence, your dedication to our family has been one of the greatest blessings that we have ever known.  Thank you for always being there for us when times are rough.  You are family.  To everyone at the church, we love and appreciate you so much.  I also have to thank Jesus Christ, who loved me enough to be late.
