Yesterday (Monday, 7/30) we did a blood pregnancy test that came back negative. We're pretty heartbroken about it as you can well imagine (the actual mix of emotions is pretty hard to describe, though sad and angry cover it best).
In any case, we continue to thank you for your prayers and support and ask that you would continue on, both as we work through this and as we make plans for what happens next.

Oh Honey, I am so sorry. I am in OKC at Jerrod & Katie's and just read your blog a little while ago. I don't understand all these things and probably won't ever find the answers to my questions, but just know that I love you both and pray for you every day. I will continue to do that. Will talk to you when I get home on Thursday. Shari, Carol and I are taking Kiley around to visit some colleges in the area before they go home. So will check in with you later.
I love you,
Grandma/GG
I am so sorry you didn't have better news. You've continued to be in my prayers each day that you'll soon be blessed with a child.
Thinking of you,
Katie
Lezlie and Scott,
I am so sorry for your situation. No one can know the pain you are feeling. You are going through a grief so intense that only you can understand it. I can certainly see how frustrated, angry, disappointed you both are. I want you to know I am praying for you both. I pray that a baby will be in your arms soon that is to be your baby, no matter how that is to become a reality. Love, Kathy Seeber
Sad and angry seem like pretty appropriate emotions to me. I know you'll work through this - we're all pulling for you all the way.
Like Mother said....I don't begin to understand the "why" of painful things. Though understanding is something we all crave - it's not something we always get to have.
When faced with this dilemma in my life, I've learned that it helps to "go to" what you KNOW. What I KNOW....is that you are both beloved children of God and that God will take care of you always. None of us knows what is in store for us in our lives - we just have faith that we'll be cared for and not given more than we can bear. Sometimes it's not so easy to see or feel that.......so as you move through this part of your journey and then begin the process of making plans for the next part...please know that you are held close in thought and prayer and that you have family and friends who will love you and be with you through it all.
Take care of yourselves....take the time you need. Here's a big hug...Aunt Fran
Ditto what Fran said -- I can't add a thing to those heartfelt comments. I DON'T understand it, as I know you don't either, but I DO know God has something up his sleeves for you guys! I know that's not what you want to hear, but I really believe it! We will keep praying that this "plan" will be divulged soon!
Love to you both! Stay strong!
I can only repeat what everyone else has said. I know it is so difficult to understand why these things happen and I don't pretend to have any answers. I can only say that you guys have so much love and support from your family and friends and I pray that will help get you through this. We will continue to pray for you and hope that all of your dreams will come true very soon.
Much love and lots of hugs,
Aunt Carol
I am truly disappointed but for you both! May God comfort you.
Love the Davis family (Roberta in Calgary)
I'm so very sorry to hear this disappointing news. I know it's hard to take and you can't understand God's reason for withholding a child from you, but you do need to trust that He knows best and whatever the reason, you must accept that from Him. It's hard, in the natural, so we pray for God's strength to help you deal with this. And we'll definitely continue to pray for God to bless you with a child, however He finds is the best way of doing this. Just continue to "wait on the Lord" and trust in His timing. Bless you both....
I ache and hurt for you, but I know it is nothing to compare to what you are going through with this disappointment. I am here for you and love you both with all my heart. So many have said, so appropriately, that God is control and will guide you through this to a positive outcome. I know from my own life that things that happen that are so devastating and hurtful have a reason for happening like they do. Sometimes we are permitted to understand why it happened as it did, but only on down the road a piece. Sometimes we never understand. It is hard when you have done what is right and when you see so much evil happening and so many running to it blindly. Here you are, people who would be wonderful parents to a beautiful child who needs parents to love him or her so much. I know that sooner (sooner we hope) or later you will experience the joy of parenthood, and a child will be blessed with your love. I can hardly wait for it to happen, and I know you anxiously wait too. I will keep on with my prayers. With so many of us praying I know God is hearing the noise of our prayers like shouting. Much love. Mimi
