My Miracle baby Part 1....

So most of you all know this story of how my sweet Ellie came to be but I feel I need to start from the beginning for those who dont:) Plus this has more details then I have every really shared, it is long so I will break it into 2 parts :)

 Back in 2006 after trying for 2 years to have kids I went to the doctor to find out I had level 4 endometrosis and that I had several cysts one being the size of a baby's head on my left ovary.  I needed surgery and pretty quickly but before i had a chance to have it the large cyst on my left ovary attached itself to other organs and decided to turn while I was driving home one day...oh the pain... probably worse than childbirth. 

Thankfully Ben was in the car with me and when i tried to stand up and get out i immediately fell to the ground and he picked me up and rushed me to the hospital.  We happened to be in Kansas city at the time staying some friends so they admitted me to Overland Park regional.  I was doped up on many of pain medicines so much so that all fear of man went out the window and I felt the need to tell every single person that walked in the room many details of my life including my love for the Lord. 

Of course I wish this had been my natural response to do but thankfully the Lord worked through what would have been my barrier of "fear of man" and i told a nurse of the love the Lord that one year later she found Ben at the House of Prayer and had given her life to Christ...I of course have no real recollection of the experience but Praise God!!

Anyway I had surgery which a doctor performed that I later found out later from a nurse that used to work there, he is known as the "butcher", not the nickname you want for someone performing surgery on you.  But for the most part it was considered successful, though my symptoms didnt seem to be getting better and I kept hearing from people that didn't know me or my God that I wouldn't be able to have kids.  What a curse to just speak that over someone, they don't even realize.... which brings me to Part 2 of my journey....will update soon!
