What a week- Haiti and the Loss of our Child

This past week has been emotionally draining, news reports of a 7.0 earthquake in the country of Haiti. Realizing a group from our church, Souderton Mennonite was down there and we weren't sure how far the devastation had traveled. Waiting a least a day to hear that, Praise the Lord, no one had been hurt. All this, just one day after we lost our 3rd child, by miscarriage, Joy Schultz, on 1/11/10.
It occurred the same day as my doctor appointment, which confirmed that I had truly lost the child, we were so happy to be carrying. Now, once again, we are waiting for Heaven to see not 2, but 3 of our children: Blessing, Patience, and Joy Schultz. God has his reasons, and we will have to wait to hear them, I'm sure. It's explaining things to Chantel, that is most difficult. She just doesn't get it, when everyone else seems to have brothers and sisters and she's just waited so long. She really wants to help care for a brother or sister. She's prayed, she's drawn pictures of Mommy with a baby and an umbilical cord, too.
At my appointment last Tuesday, the doctor did ask if I had a specialist I would like to see, for help with future pregnancy. I didn't have the name, but I described the person to her, where she had worked and where she worked now. It was the same person, who was recommended by my friends Judy and Cathleen, (one the Dr. and the second, the location where she worked). It seems to me like God has been orchestrating this process.
Today I felt better about things, first, due to less physical pain. Second,I experienced less other issues, than I've dealt with all week. Third, I finally was able to call the doctor's office and found that our insurance will cover our appointments. All I need to do is contact my primary care doctor for a referral for additional appointments, but Dr. Pagan's office (Stoneridge OBGYN) referred me for the original appointment. So, I feel like we are heading in the right direction.
I appreciate your continued thoughts and prayers on our behalf, in the weeks ahead, and the time comes when we remember, what would have been the birth date of Patience Schultz, February 15th. Also, that the doctor does the right tests, bloodwork and asks the right questions. We really don't want to go a taking drugs route to solve these issues. Maybe something natural can be used. So, lots of concerns, but we know God is in control and He has the answers, we just need to ask, and to listen.
Back to Haiti, we just heard news today, that our group landed in Florida, and will be flying home in 3 groups: one tonight at midnight, one tomorrow afternoon, and one tomorrow night. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers, on our behalf and on the behalf of the people in Haiti and who has returned from Haiti.
God has been at work this week, and continues to work toward our future good.
