Well…that was by far the worst miscarraige I have had physically. I was in, what was very much like labor Wednesday night and Thursday morning and afternoon. By 2:00 it subsided and I felt much better if it weren’t for the doctor visit I had that morning. I went in and my doctor had some concerns with polyps, molor pregnancy, possible missed miscarraige, which could further complicate things. The only way to really tell what was going on was to do a D and C. I told him it was not a good weekend for that and I just couldn’t possibly do it. He just looked at me and told me it had to be done tonight (Thursday) or Friday morning. I realized that if it had to be done, last night was better because we already had Jeff babysitting for us while we were to be attending the temple. So I was scheduled for last night. Surgery is something that I need at least a few days to mentally prepare for and I didn’t have that this time. I was a bit of a mess yesterday. What a relief though to have Jeff on duty. The girls love him and he was great with them all day. He and Maren were watching them while I was at the doctor in the morning as well so he was at our home from 9am to 10pm on kid duty. He was exhausted by the end of the day. Thankyou so much Jeff and Maren.
The surgery went fine. Oh, how I hate IV’s. and we were home by 8pm. I feel tired and my whole body is tired and sore from the whole ordeal. Maren was here all morning making cinnamon rolls for conference tomorrow and washing beds for me. Brian will be doing the house cleaning and the remaining grocery shopping. I am so thankful for family that is willing to step in and take over when it is needed.
I am so glad this weekend is conference and we get to sit around.

Brings back memories. I was at St. Joseph’s in Burbank when I went through a similar experience. We’ll include you in our prayers. Sorry we’re not closer to lend a hand. ~ b

It was our pleasure, honest!–maren
Pam/Brian… thank you so much for your hospitality this past week. You have such a cute little family. You made the week so much more enjoyable, not having to spend nights in a lonely old hotel. Sorry about your misscarriage. I hope that we did not complicate things for you. Have Brian do my version of “Patty Cake” with Serra so she will remember her Uncle Roger. Thanks again
We are so glad that all went well with the opperation. So sorry to hear about the sad news
The good thing about a D & C is that your body will recover quicker & in turn you will mentally heal quicker as well. I’m glad you have family around.
I hope you were able to have an enjoyable, restful weekend. Wish we lived closer to help as well. Our internet has been down for over two weeks so it was fun to check and see all the new pictures. thanks for posting them. hope you are able to quickly recover. love you all. We’re already looking forward to our Christmas trip down there.
