Baby Grace Update - We're Home for Now!

Dear friends,

After an emotionally draining day and a half (it seems like a lot longer) the doctor released Jenn from the hospital shortly after 2:00 PM today. We had another ultrasound that was at 8cc's which agrees with the one that our doctor took yesterday afternoon. This confirms that Grace Rose is not in crisis at the present time.

One other instruction we have is that from now on for the duration of the pregnancy we are going to have an ultrasound every day. This is much better than in patient bed-rest so I am not going to complain. The one drawback is that the doctor wants Jenn to go to the Triage at Mary Birch Hospital at 10:00 AM on the weekends. Yes, Saturday and Sunday. I won't be able to always go with her but even the doctor commented that if you can't be with her what better place to be than at church praying for her. How true.

Thank you so much for your love, encouragements and comments. This has been an emotional time for us but we treasure the love the body of Christ has demonstrated both near and far on our behalf. We have literally had people praying for us around the world day and night.

God's grace is both amazing and sustaining. There have been times where it feels like the weight of the world is on our shoulders then we see a glimmer of God's grace and we are reminded that He is sovereign in His power and He is an All-Sufficient God who is able to meet our every need. Many times it has been through the words and expressions of His people, the church.

Soli Deo Gloria
