Sad News

Alison and I are very sad to inform you all that at our ultrasound yesterday our baby did not have a heartbeat. We are extremely saddened that this story had to end this way. We also realize that there is a bigger plan at work. It does not seem fair but we take comfort in the fact that our journey has been a blessing and we will continue to seek answers and solutions.
It is now 8 a.m. and we are currently in a birthing room at Toledo Hospital. It will be very tough emotionally, but Alison will be induced shortly. Today Alison would be 18 weeks along in this pregnancy. For this reason, the doctors are hopeful that tests can be run to figure out what has been happening. Of course there are no guarantees, but we may have a bit more insight after this process.
Alison and I have some renewed hope. The doctors are very active in finding out what is happening and how to proceed. They are looking in many directions and we feel as though progress is occuring. It may not seem that way, since we had a negative outcome, but we are learning with each appointment. We must stay positive because miracles can and will happpen.
At this point we are planning on taking a pause from this blog. However, we are very hopeful that the pause will be short and we can resume in some way in the very near future. Thank you all very much for your prayers. They have been a comfort to us. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we work through the emotional and physical challenges that lie ahead.
