30 May 2008

Hello!

Just to update and thank everyone for their prayers and let you know how the appointment at the hospital went today....

We met with the consultant who was overseeing my care when I was pregnant with Lily. After looking at the test results taken at the time - she determined there was no infection present when I went into premature labor. (We thought it was an infection because at the time that was the reason they gave us.) So...unfortunately we have no concrete reason for why it happened. The consultant explained that sometimes it just does. Despite the lack of answers we've been waiting for, we had a real peace in the meeting. The consultant was kind, encouraging and gave us no reason why we can't go on to have a healthy, full-term baby. Praise God! The past few months we have been given words of promise of a family and this is confirmation.

God is a God of healing! It has been nearly 6 months since Lily was born and he has been healing our broken hearts. We've felt God's presence in a tangible way and know that He is good, faithful and true to his promises. Though we will always miss Lily and mourn that we were not able to see her grow here - we look forward to seeing her again and know she is safe in heaven until then.

Thanks for walking this with us...your prayers have carried us in the lowest times. We look forward to the times of joy that are coming!

Lots of love,
Dave and Beth
