I tend to be long winded so today I will try to put into few words what I felt when I lost my unborn daughter Rachel Lee in 1987.
I was happily carrying this new life when she stopped moving. A quick trip to the doctor told me what I already knew in my heart and did not want to deal with. The cold, clinical medical term they use is "fetal demise". That fateful day March 27, 1987 took me into what I perceived to be a living hell. The doctor was cold and heartless, he thought,  at my age, 33, I was ancient and did not need to try to have more children! Well folks, God fooled him! I had three more beautiful children after that tragic loss. When God closes a door he opens bay windows!
I was tossed into such a mental despair, one I had never known. I found little comfort in my tiny companion "Casey" a little cockapoo I had. He would never get on our bed but he would stand at the side with his head cocked and his paws forward looking at me with soulful eyes telling me somehow I would survive.
Because I have a V.P. shunt inside my head for hydrocephalus the doctor said I had to wait to deliver my baby, a tiny light taken from me before I could fully know her! She was delivered by a kind and caring young resident on the evening of April 17, 1987. They let me hold her and I had my grieving turn into a nightmare of helplessness and despair. She was perfect in every way but sometime God has other plans for us.
One week after her birth I started to hemorrhage. I remember seeing my entire life flashing before me. I remember the last words the doctor told my hubby before I went out! He said I needed blood transfusions and the last thing he should think about was HIV as if I contracted Hep C I would be doomed.
I remember coming around later that day and a lovely kindhearted nurse was standing at my side getting the transfusion ready. I remember praying and I felt God's presence there with me. He whispered gently into my ear "It is going to be alright." I felt His hand on me and I knew I would never worry about anything that day because He was lifting me up in His hands.
Because I had the transfusions I can not donate blood, as I have been told this repeatedly. But I campaign for blood donations and if you can please give, because you are giving life.
I want to tell you that nothing is impossible with God and you should trust Him wholeheartedly. He is the supreme being who rules our world. Trust Him. He will always lift you out of despair and into His light.
I am praying for Charlie  and his family today and all the wonderful volunteers of the Miracle Makeover. I am a true example that miracles happen Now leave those comments, donate some blood if you can and trust in the One that holds this wicked old world in His hands!
"For by grace you have been saved by faith. And this is not your own doing;it is the gift of God, not a result of  works so that no one may boast." Ephesians :-8-9
