God is great and merciful!!! Before yesterday, I didn't know how I was going to make it to August 27th. The procedure went well. They removed about 3 liters of fluid which Troy and the Dr. weighed in at 9 pounds. It was immediate relief!! I was able to eat a normal amount of dinner and sleep laying down - something I haven't done in about a month. I no longer feel as if my ribs are broken, and I can move around without pain! I am still amazed at the difference it makes. I would not recommend it as a weight loss method if anyone is wondering - too painful:)
Now that I feel like I am able to function somewhat normally again, we can move forward with getting ready for the first day of school and finalizing all of the plans for the arrival of our new little one. Thank you for your prayers.

Hello Karen~
I wish to tell you our whole story right here and now but it is not the time...it is about you and your needs......I will introduce myself as the mother of Jacob Ryan Fahmer.....my sweetest baby boy born January 14th, 2008 with Trisomy 18 who lived a life full of sweet love for 138 days here at home before he went to his eternal home to the Lord just this past May 31st. As you await the arrival of your sweet baby boy, Jacob's life verse comes to mind, "Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage; and He will strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord." Psalm 27:14. Please contact me through our blog fahmer.blogspot.com if you need to talk to someone who just "gets it" because not everyone does. God Bless....I will let our blog followers know to pray for you and your beautiful family.
