The Green Light

I've been saying for the last couple of months that I'm going to get back to blogging, but truth be told, I think I've just been too lazy to do it.

I don't think I've updated since my last post about my AVM symptoms returning.  Apparently, I don't know my own body at all and God is very VERY gracious.  My doctor sent me for a second scan since my surgery, and the AVM is virtually non-existent.  I went to see the high risk OBGYN in New York recommended to me by Dr. Rosen, and he did a saline ultrasound to see how much scar tissue I had left over from the surgery.  The assumption was that in order for us to get the "green light" to go ahead and get pregnant, he would see how much scar tissue there was and remove whatever he could.  (If there is too much scar tissue, it would put me at a greater risk of having a postpartum hemorrhage at the time I deliver our next baby).  Well, yet again, in God's providence there wasn't even any scar tissue to be removed!  The doctor said, "If you hadn't told me you had ever even had an AVM I wouldn't have known it was there." There wasn't even a remnant of anything left.

We went home with a tremendous gift that day.  We were allowed to go ahead and "be fruitful and multiply."
