Waiting (Part 2)

So as we’re waiting on the results of this IUI, we get more news that causes waiting and praying…

We got word late Monday that Andrew’s mom had been admitted to the hospital in Madison, WI. She (along with the rest of us) discovered that in the past year, she’s been having heart attacks occasionally. That word occasionally makes it seem so much more casual than I want it to be, but I can’t come up with another way to say it right now. Intermittently? Whatever. In addition, she had blood going from her heart into her lungs, which was causing it to be very difficult to breathe.

After hearing the news, my amazing Uncle Ernie called and booked Andrew a flight to Wisconsin, and he was on a plane about an hour after I arrived home from school.

Just now we got the newest update. After a heart catheter test, it was determined that she has two blocked arteries but that one artery is working very well and apparently, that one is the most important. She will not need surgery right now. They want to put in a defibrillator to make sure that if she were to have some kind of heart arrhythmia, the defibrillator would shock her heart. They’ll also We’re thankful that she does not need major surgery. We’re praying that we get a LOT of years with Momma Eckert, and right now they haven’t been promised to us.

Do you have room for us in your prayers TWICE? Thank you for praying that we’re pregnant and thank you for praying that Andrew’s mom will get stronger and healthier every day.
