Tomorrow is Mother's day. We would like to issue a thank you to our wonderful matriarchs for their years of service, sacrifice, and smiles. Thank you for your dedication to our families and the wonderful gift of life that you have given us.
We are also very blessed that Stephanie is still with us. Thank you to the multiple doctors, nurses, and corresponding staff that used their education and gifts to save her life.
In the end of February, Stephanie took a pregnancy test and it was positive. From previous experiences we decided to keep it somewhat under wraps. The doctor confirmed, but subsequent tests showed that something was not progressing properly. By the beginning of April, the doctors still couldn't locate the fetus and the pregnancy hormone stopped doubling. It was determined that it was indeed an ectopic pregnancy. Because the fetus could not be found, a dose of chemotherapy was administered. However with us, nothing could be that easy.
Several days later internal bleeding ensued. Stephanie was taken to the emergency room. After proper ER fashion she was rushed into the OR. Exploratory surgery was performed, the bleeding was stopped, but a fallopian tube had to be removed.
Stephanie is doing well and is expected to return to work on Monday. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers through this challenging time of trial.
One door was opened though. We were able to sell our home after over a year on the market!
