What exactly are we praying for??

As I sit here and wonder what in the world is going on in my body.. I began to realize that most of you have NO idea what you are praying for... a hemorrhage or blood clot as some of you may know it as but still what exactly does that mean? I for one didn't know, Dr Perguini urged me to stay away from Google.. "Nothing is good on there and they always tell you the worse case" So I have until tonight... just because i wanted to find out EXACTLY what it was.. just the definition.
Where you see the red circle is the hemorrhage.. it makes a "V" shape.. compared to my last sono before we saw how big it was at the ER this is larger by a long shot. I dont have pictures to compare it to.. Wish i did.. I learned by my investagation that it has many names to what exactly this "thing" is called.. here is the most clear defination that I could find.
"SCH or Subchorionic Hematoma is a gathering of blood between the membranes of the placenta and the uterus. A more technical name is the chorion. Some doctors will also just refer to it as a blood clot."
That my friends is what we are praying for that God takes from my body.. I believe in miracles happening slowly and in God timing. I believe in medicine.. but this is beyond medicine.. There is nothing that my Dr can to do make this "disappear." Its truly up to my body and to God, and most of all I believe its up to God. So when you pray for Garlyn and I.. Pray God takes this blood clot away, and that He lets me carry this baby for as long as possible and hopefully that is to atleast where Baby Garlyn can be delivered and taken care of. Even if that means months and months in the NICU!
I have sat aside my heartache and started focusing on what exactly is at hand.. Its to make sure Garlyn and I are safe, the boys at home taken care of *Which we have found someone to come over to the house and stay with them while Kirk is at work* and let Kirk do what he does best, take care of everything.. He truly is my rock that God has sent me. Without him I think I wouldve already broken all to pieces and never put myself back together!
