In 2015, because of this page, a young woman saw this page and requested prayer quilts. Not only had she battled cancer, a couple of her friends were also battling cancer.
Yesterday morning, I got an email from her asking if we are still making prayer quilts. She said she has a couple more friends who have cancer. BUT she also excitedly shared the miracle of HER story.
The following is her story and the picture is the miracle. God is so good. All the time.
So since my medical team wasn't sure I would live when I was diagnosed, they didn't do anything to preserve my eggs during aggressive chemo. When we realized my odds were getting better, they since me to a fertility specialist to assess the damage that chemo did....and it was the worst possible. My AMH levels were ZERO which meant that the chemo "killed all my eggs"....which as we know we are born with so they do not regenerate. They couldn't even do IVF since all my eggs were dead.
At 3 yrs post diagnosis I fell pregnant!! It was such a miracle and the drs were stumped! Chloe was SO HAPPY & we found out on her 3rd birthday. Unfortunately when we went for our 9 week ultrasound, we found no heartbeat. I was then diagnosed with a "missed misscarage" since there was no bleeding...and I had to have a D&C surgery. It was the hardest trial I have ever conquered....even harder than being diagnosed with aggressive cancer when pregnant. Chloe was devastated along with us. The doctors told us it was a medical fluke & once again told us it was "impossible" to conceive....but Chloe never gave up!!
Chris & I made peace with God's plan for us to have an only child, and we praised him for our healthy 3 yr old!! This whole time Chloe shared she was "praying every day" for a sister & this broke our hearts since we knew what the doctors said....but this opened up many conversations about "Gods will superseding our own" which is a great lesson for her (and everyone!)
On Jan 29th of last year, 3.5 year old Chloe woke up from her nap to excitedly tell me about how she had "heard Gods voice"!! She told me that He told her "there is a new baby in your mommy's tummy....and this one will make it". I would like to tell you I believed her & rejoiced....but we were so saddened by this since we knew it was "impossible". We worried about how her young faith would handle the news when she found out there was no baby. She CONSISTENTLY told us about this "new baby" for 9 days and never wavered. We spoke a lot about discernment & how sometimes we want to hear Gods voice so bad we think we do. I even asked her if maybe she was sleeping...to which she replied "No."
On February 7th of last year, 4 days before my period was due, I took a test to show Chloe the negative....AND IT WAS POSITIVE!!! OUR GOD IS SO GOOD!!
He heard all of Chloe's daily prayers for a sister....and He answered them!! AND THEN He told her that he answered them a full 9 days before any of us could even test!
