There is nothing more discouraging than seeing the reaction on someone's face when they've asked "So you're all better now, right?" and I respond "Not really" or "everyday is different."
I mean, I know everyone wants me to be better. So do I. Don't you think I pray for healing, too? But I've come to accept this condition, and the plans that God may have for me and the baby.
I appreciate the prayers for healing, but what I really ask of my prayer warrior friends, is to pray for us.
Hyperemesis patients have a history of late term miscarriages and preterm delivery. With all 3 of my kids being born 2, 3 and 5 weeks early, the chances of another pre-term delivery were pretty high. But I'm doing everything medically possible to prevent this, and of course we are in constant prayer.
So while I welcome and encourage the prayers of others for my healing from HG, I really encourage and ask that you pray for us:
Pray that the baby gets the nutrients that he/she needs to grow, and that I get the nutrients and fluids to provide for the baby.
Pray for the Grace and understanding, and especially patience for those around me; particularly my kids who aren't getting as much Mommy time as I know they'd like.
Pray for my husband, the provider and caregiver for our family, that he feels peace through this stressful time.
Pray for my doctors and nurses, as they continue helping me through this pregnancy.
Pray for people who want to step up and help, to not be afraid to help.
