HOPE

As I told you in a previous post I'm reading "Heaven is For Real" and last night after reading chapter 17 I decided we needed to name our baby. I had a hard time bringing it up but finally did when we were just laying in the dark trying to go to sleep.

When I got out of surgery Dr. Thompson thought that there was a 50/50 chance that I was still pregnant. My Beta was right where it should be for as far along as I was and they could not see anything in my uterus. So, she thought that either I was pregnant with TWINS and one was in the uterus but to small to see and the other one was implanted in the ovary. Well, we had to wait and wait and wait...I had blood work on Monday and then again on Wednesday to check my Beta. She thought it would be Thursday before we would find out the results of my pathology report but I got that call late Wednesday afternoon...The nurse called and said, "Good news your Beta is going down and she got everything in surgery, we'll see you tomorrow." .....I sobbed

The next day I went to my appointment and Dr. Thompson explained everything..the baby had implanted on my right ovary and she had been able to remove everything in surgery which meant that she would not have to take my right ovary. That was the only GOOD news out of this whole ordeal.

The whole time we had been hoping and praying and wishing that I was still pregant and although it did not turn out like I had hoped we still have hope for the future!!!

and without giving it much thought we named our angel HOPE

My sweet friend Melinda gave us a decorative sign that says~
If you have faith you have HOPE and if you have HOPE you have everything!

That is so very true :)

We also decided to plant a tree...it will be our HOPE TREE

p.s. please read "Heaven is for Real" it is awesome!!!
