Heavy Hearts
We write this update today with very heavy hearts. We had another ultrasound this morning to find out if our baby is growing. It turns out that as a result of the down syndrome, his little body does not know how to use the nutrition it is getting. He has hardly grown at all in the last 3 weeks. Chances are that he will stop growing all together. Unfortunately, he is not yet big enough to live outside the womb so there is nothing we can do to save him. Our hope rests now in God that He will choose to save our baby boy. There is a small chance that he could start growing and reach the point of viability. We return to the doctor next week to get another ultrasound to see how he is doing. We ask that everyone pray with us for a miracle.

ignore my prayer, or withdraw his unfailing love from me.
That hurts my heart, too....I am so sorry that things seem to not be progressing as they should. We will continue to pray for God's will for you and your baby. We also pray for His strength and comfort in the days to come. Just know there are many people who love and care about you three. Judy Kroh
ReplyDeleteMy heart is very heavy for you guys. I know that prayer is very powerful and that God strengthens us through our trials as we trust in His will. There are many people in Virginia Beach praying for all three of you. I love you Melissa and Tyson.
