As you know from my last blog post, there is no baby on the way. In fact, the prognosis is worse than anticipated. Unfortunately, I lost so much blood during surgery that they stopped the surgery before finishing. They were hoping they had done enough to end the molar pregnancy. But, the ultrasound on Monday would prove differently. There are still some remnants of the pregnancy left, which means I'm still pregnant with no baby. They are hoping the rest will pass on its own, so I won't have to go into surgery again. Even if surgery is on the horizon, they will want to wait for my body to recuperate fully.
That being said, I want to point out the positives in the situation. It has been very rough, but somehow, because it is the season of Thanksgiving, I am constantly reminded how much I have to be thankful for. I have two sweet children who are the light of my life. I have a wonderful husband who honors his priesthood and provides for our family and takes care of us. I have wonderful family and friends who have done so much for us recently by babysitting, bringing in meals, or just cheering me up by coming to visit.
And I have the knowledge that my Savior has felt my pain. He has born my griefs and knows what I am going through. It is in Him that I find comfort. We all go through trials, and and all for a reason. We may not understand them now, but I know that we will come through stronger if we simply put our faith in the Savior.
Thank you again, for your prayers and support. This too, shall be but a small moment.

i am so sorry. what a blessing the gospel is to find hope in such heartache.
Thanks for your example. I for one have a hard time being positive during rough times, so I needed to read your blog today. It always feels so much better to focus on the good things in life. I hope everything gets back to normal soon for you.
You're a really good example of looking at the positive and being grateful. I hope you're feeling better and that you had a good Thanksgiving.
