We are disappointed and heartbroken as we have invested every part of ourselves into this process, not to mention our dear friends in France, our family, our prayer warriors. But I am not discouraged! When God closes a door, He opens a window. He has other plans. As Steve said, we will never stop seeking a cure, a healing for Julia! (How I love that man!).
After our genetic counseling session, the doctor asked us if we would like to transfer our one, frozen healthy (non-match) embryo from our first IVF attempt and we agreed 100% that we would. So, at 9:50am this morning a little boy embryo was successfully transfered to my uterus. Attatchment of the embryo to the uterus can take 2-3 days and there is a good 20 -30% chance of success. Our pregnancy test will be Tuesday, December 21st. What a special blessing it would be, not to mention the BEST Christmas gift in the world to discover we have a little baby boy growing in my belly. Again, God's plan is best...He's sees clearly while my vision is blurred.
We arrived home from the clinic and Steve took Annie Leigh out to share with her the news. She didn't fully grasp what was being said and got quite excited to hear of a potential brother coming into the picture. We are waiting a day or so until we talk to Julia. One thing at a time.
Thank you for your prayers, concern, warm wishes and love. We are experiencing the comfort of Jesus, who experience so much grief and suffering.
I will write again during the week, once we are safely back in Minnesota with my Mom and Dad.

Sa hard to read those news dear friends...and yet so encouraging to see you are hanging onto the Lord . What a rollercoaster of emotions you have been through over the past 6 months. Wishing you all the best with Steve Junior, I hope you are all keeping well. My love to the girls. Bisous from Magalie
ReplyDeleteThe consolation here is knowing that God has Julia in His hands, and He too, like you, her parents, He will never stop tooking care of her.
ReplyDeleteThere is still this little little little one... we pray that he hangs on already and in the past 9 months, and that he'll grow just fine.
We want to tell you that we love you all, and that we'd like to support you in this. I guess the best way is to continue to pray, especially for Julia. May God heal her and ease her pain!
Bon courage encore!
A très bientôt!
Bisous de nous tous.
I had a lump in my throat reading your blog this morning. We prayed in faith, but know that the Lord will direct this situation for His glory in some other unexpected way. He will guide and continue to love you all abundantly! You WILL see His power at work. We can't use our natural minds to understand all that He is doing, but we continue to trust His leading in this. Keep praying and cling to Him. Your life is a witness to many - praise God. We continue to pray. Psalm 119:57-58 Laura VH
ReplyDeleteDear Sara and Steve,
ReplyDeleteWe mourn with you and your family for the loss of the one hope (for now anyway), and rejoice with you for the potential fulfullment of the hope of a beautiful new son for you. May Jesus wrap His healing arms around all of you, as you continue to trust and love Him. May the Comfort of the Holy Spirit and the love of the Father be yours in abundance. Your faith in the midst of your trials is a great witness to so many, and so glorifying to our great God and Savior.
If we can be of any help to you, please let us know. We'll continue to bring you before the throne of grace, as you so beautifully referred to in your post yesterday morning...
Love and blessings, Pam and Tom Wolski
P.S.-- We join with you in believing God for another way to bring healing to Julia. As you said, we know that His ways and timing are best, to bring Him the most glory and to bring His children the most good.

Sending love from our hearts to yours this night. Sighing deeply, praying hopefully. Trusting you to the one who knows all things. Your friends, Sue and Mike H
ReplyDeleteOur prayer is that God would continue to comfort your whole family with the peace that only He can give! Life can be so hard, but God is always so good!!! Praying for you all, Dave, Gretchen, Greta & Julia Gilmore
