Medical stuff....

I usually use this blog to post random family stuff and tons of pictures of Nugget. But I decided to share because it is scary and the more support I can get the better. Alison is my miracle baby. Getting pregnant was not something that came easy to us. We tried for years before we were blessed. The pregnancy was another hard time. I bled most of the pregnancy and was on strict rest schedule. I finally had my healthy baby girl at 37 weeks via c-section. Ever since having her (five years ago) I have had issues with my cycles. I would bleed heavily for most of each month. Which of course limited our ability to have another baby. Recently though, the bleeding started and wouldn't stop. I was put on all sorts of medications to get the bleeding to stop (which it has, for the moment) and many tests have been done. Ultrasounds and biopsies. The conclusion...I need a hysterectomy. I will get to keep my ovaries so I will be able to go through menopause naturally but of course, it is still very scary. Surgery is scheduled for September 10th. I will be glad to no longer be in pain or having the excessive bleeding but it is nerve wracking. I just hope that everything goes according to plan and that my family is strong through all this.
