THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS!!!

THE BABY FLIPPED!!!

It took two hours for things to get set up, arranged and otherwise prepared.
It took about 4-5 minutes to flip the baby! 
It took over 5 hours for me to feel my legs enough to walk out of there! 

God’s hand was SO SO SO SO evident!!  He blessed me so abundantly!
A Christian, homeschool-dad was my anesthesiologist [from Charity LEAH]!
My nurse was the wife of the Young Life director for the west side of Rochester!
The doctor [perinatologist Dr. Daniel Grace] that filled in for my doctor has lots of experience with versions and clearly liked and believed in this procedure to avoid surgery if possible.

THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!

I am so touched for the prayers lifted for Scooter and I. 
Now, if you are so led… pray s/he doesn’t FLIP BACK! 😉
[I was told that possibility is pretty low.]

[I was told that possibility is pretty low.]

Last Thursday, during an U/S after my routine appointment, it was confirmed that Scooter was Frank Breech in his/her presentation. 

Since that time I have:
prayed without ceasing
seen an accupuncturist
went swimming
seen a chiropractor
done a ba-zillion weird exercises
had Beau sing into my belly through a paper towel tube [this was the most successful at-home attempt!]
cried

Today I go in to the hospital to attempt a “version” to try to turn the baby from the breech position to a vertex one.

**If the baby becomes distressed during the procedure, I may require an emergent, “rescue,” C-Section that could leave me with extensive abdominal wall trauma in an attempt to save the baby.  Please pray that this does NOT happen and that our baby would tolerate the procedure well. 

**Because our 2nd child [Champ] was a C-Section, if this baby requires a C-Section, I would be committed to having any further children surgically as well. 

Please pray that this would go well, that our baby and I would be safe.  That we’d be bold witnesses for Christ in every encounter.  That our other kids would be safe and blessed as their world has been a little unsettled this week.
