prayer for wife and unborn child

[truthman]

wife went to doctor's today because of cramping. They did an ultrasound and found this, http://ag.arizona.edu/NSC/courses/104nsc/ch12/graphics/placentaprevia.jpg

It's called placenta previa. Basically, the placenta is fully blocking the cervix which will cause complications for natural delivery. So, csection is planned for late May, instead of regular due date of late June. Right now, she is not allowed any activities that will stress that area because if there is bleeding, then the baby will be at risk.

Thanks for your prayers.

p.s. this will be our fourth child

I had that once, truthman. I will be :pray:ing.

[truthman]

Thank you both. My biggest concern right now is medical care as we live hours away from anything remotely decent.

All this (csection and whatnot) will happen in Denver, which is four hours from home.

Side note: For those who don't know, Truthman has devoted many years to the GODISNOWHERE ministry (a sister site of TW), and just recently moved on to become a pastor of a church out in way-east Colorado. He's truly been a warrior for God's truth -- a truth man!

Not to mention, he's a great pal! Thank you so much for your prayers and support! :rithumb:

For both your wife and your child. Difficult pregnancies are harrowing at best. I wish you all God's comfort and peace.

Praying for ALL of you, Tman! Keep us informed as time goes on, please?

Well, she started bleeding last night at 11. So, we drove 15 minutes to the nearest hospital and they took her from there to the next best hospital which was 3 hours away. She got there at 2 a.m. I presume.

I haven't been able to reach her yet and don't know any details.

(((((((((((((((( truthman ))))))))))))))))) that must be hard :sad:

father I lift truthman up to you right now I pray your peace will be upon him as he waits to hear from his wife. I ask that you will prtect this baby father and that mother and child will be fine father. truthman and his wife and family love you, LORD! You are their defender. you are their protector; you are their strong fortress. My God you are their protection, and with you they are safe. you protects them like a shield; you defend them and keep them safe. Whoever goes to the LORD for safety, whoever remains under your protection, can say, "You are my defender and protector. You are my God; in you I trust." you will keep them safe from all hidden dangers and from all deadly diseases. you will cover them with your wings; they will be safe in your care; your faithfulness will protect and defend them. they need not fear any dangers at night or sudden attacks during the day or the plagues that strike in the dark or the evils that kill in daylight. A thousand may fall dead beside them, ten thousand all around them, but they will not be harmed. they will look and see how the wicked are punished. they have made you LORD their defender, you the Most High their protector, and so no disaster will strike them, no violence will come near their home. You will put your angels in charge of them to protect them wherever they go. They will hold them up with their hands to keep them from hurting their feet on the stones. they will trample down lions and snakes, fierce lions and poisonous snakes. You say, "I will save those who love me and will protect those who acknowledge me as LORD. When they call to me, I will answer them; when they are in trouble, I will be with them. I will rescue them and honor them. I will reward them with long life; I will save them." Father I claim these things for truthman and his whole family right now I pray that you will strengthen truthmans wife and unborn baby and that you will give them both your peace father I ask that you would help this baby to stay in the uterus full term and that it will be an awesome child of God. I pray that all will go well for both mother and child and that both will rest in your love and prtection as you peace descends upon this whole family... may they feel your presence with them at this very moment cover them with your wings father I ask in the mighty name of Jesus amen

Truthman, wow. I am praying for you. :pray:

Just talked to her, she only got a couple hours sleep and she doesn't know any details yet as the doctor was just coming in. She's still bleeding a bit.

Well, I have to work today so I'll leave the other 3 kids with a lady from church. Then, I'll preach tomorrow morning and then drive up to Denver to see her.

thanks for the prayers all

Finally back in town.

I got back home this morning after taking the kids to visit her this weekend. The doctor is ordering her to live in West Denver until the baby is born in June. So, that's a long time for us to be apart.

She's doing well, meaning, no more bleeding. But, she is having some increased contractions, which isn't good for 32 weeks and complete placenta previa. She'll be on bedrest to make sure nothing happens.

Plus, to help out, my mother in Aurora is going to watch the kids full time while I Pastor and work my regular job.

So, we are scattered to say the least.

Thanks for all your prayers!!!

truthman

:hug: Hugs to you all. It's tough being separated and even more so when your wife and child's health is at risk.

My prayers for you guys continue.

Take care.

[learning]

praying too. Glad to hear she's still OK

[truthman]

My wife went back in to the hospital on Friday night with more bleeding, so I went to join her for a few days.

They'll keep her under watch at the hospital until the baby is delivered by C-section.

The new date for the C-section will be right around June 1st, not too far away.

[mossrose]

Still praying here. Hang in there, Tman and family......:hug:

[truthman]

My wife delivered our new baby girl by csection on Wednesday, June 2.

Her name is Charis Lachelle

May was a long and hard month and I'm not even sure what my own name is right now. We all just got back from denver last night after a long stay.

Things will be getting better steadily from here on out.
