God is so good. God is in control. He never forsakes us in our time of need. His Love and Strength is never ending - we should spend every second of every day praising His holy name!
I just got back from the high risk doctor and EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE FINE. The appointment went as follows: They took me back to the ultrasound room and a tech started out by taking some measurements of Henry. He is weighing in at 6 pounds and all of his stats were perfect. She asked me if I had ever seen his hair? then showed me some fuzzy white stuff on his head and said he had lots of it! So that was neat. She zoomed in on his heart and we listened to the beat. It is skipping every 4th beat, which was extremely scary to hear and see on the monitor. She left the room and told me that the doctor would be in to talk to me.
While I was in the room by myself, I prayed without rest until the doctor entered. I gave myself over completely to God's plan for my son and my family. As soon as the doctor entered, he said that after reviewing the pictures and sound bite, everything was going to be just fine. Henry does indeed have an arrhythmia but it will work itself out before he is even born. I asked, "and what if it doesn't?" The doctor said without hesitation, "it will!" Amen!
We are just so very thankful for this amazing news. Thank you to everyone who prayed for us.
An interesting side note for mothers to be: The doctor asked about my caffeine intake, drugs, alcohol, smoking, etc. Then asked if I used cocoa butter. Well of course I do, like every other vain female who doesn't want stretch marks. He said to stop because cocoa contains caffeine which could permeate through my skin and go to Henry. Interesting.
