Radiology Report

by Alison on March 30, 2006

Well, I finally got around to calling the clinic to see if the midwife had gotten the radiology report from Friday night's ultrasound.  When she called back she said that they couldn't say for sure, but that it was quite possibly a second gestational sac and that I probably did indeed miscarry, one of two… [...]

by Alison on March 29, 2006

Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me   Jesus, Savior, pilot me Over life's tempestuous sea: Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rocks and treach'rous shoal; Chart and compass come from Thee- Jesus, Savior, pilot me!   As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild; Boist'rous waves obey Thy will When Thou say'st to [...]

More Optimism, Still Cautious

by Alison on March 21, 2006

Tuesday- Well, yesterday's beta HCG level went up again, from 16, 099 of Friday to 28,227 Monday, not exactly doubling, but still rising.  I am still in a bit of limbo though, as from what I've read HCG levels can continue to rise some after “fetal demise” before then tapering off… I am scheduled for [...]
