Results

First of all, can I just say that I am so thankful for my DR. and nurse at Creekside Center for Women? (I put the clinic name in there in case anyone needs a good, Christian, thorough DR. that doesn't make you feel like a dork or rush you when you have questions) My nurse told me that if I ever have any questions, to give her a call at any time. That so encourages me at this stage of the game. Speaking of that, I got the results of my blood work from Monday. My DR's office called this morning and gave me the results. The lupus 'category' came back positive. That doesn't mean that I actually have lupus, but it's an audio immune deficiency, where blood clots are in my blood and go to the placenta, thus causing me to miscarry. I am instructed to take a baby aspirin once a day for at least a month and then once I find out I am pregnant again, tell them as soon as I find out and then they will run my levels, see where I am at, and I will need to take a shot of heparin once a day to thin out my blood. We are praying about going to see a rheumotologist just to rule out lupus. My doctor said that he doesn't think I'm a 'canidate' for that, but we are praying about it. It would be nice to be able to rule that out completely, but I did have a co worker that was tested for that awhile back, and she said that with lupus, there is usually a symptom along with it. (i.e. joint pain, ect.) So, we'll just see how the Lord directs us. I do have an appointment with a local rhemotologist here for the middle of April, but we might cancel if we feel the Lord leading us in that direction. So, prayers would be great! We know the Lord is in control and are so thankful that we found out the 'why' and it's easily (and inexpensive) to correct. We are praying that He would continue to show us Him throughout this process and that we would continue to bring HIM the glory, as He so deserves, and that it would be HIM, and not us and our desires first.
So, that's where we are at in the Laney world today. We are standing on faith and believing Him for miracles! We believe He will do what He says He will do and will stand on His Word for our strength.
In the meantime, we will probably watch a little Razorback SEC action tonight as well as going to the Razorback baseball game on Sunday. So it will be a Razorback-filled weekend and the weather is going to be nice, so I pray everyone enjoys it! Thanks for the prayers.
Believing Him,
Kara
