This is the first time you have seen me post. I’m Christie’s husband, and I have sad news.

Yesterday, Christie started showing signs of having a miscarriage. We went to the emergency room last night, and spent 3 1/2 hours there to have the ER doctor say “You are not pregnant. Talk to your doctor sometime this week.”

So we went home not knowing much more than when we knew when we went.

Christie’s OB, Dr. Nord was able to see Christie today, and confirmed what the ER doctor said, she is no longer pregnant. He was able to give her clearance to travel with her mother this weekend, and to explain what had happened with this pregnancy. We feel very blessed to have Dr. Nord as Christie’s OB, he’s a very kind and godly man.

Miscarriages are, unfortunately, nothing new to the Lyons family, this makes five babies that we have lost very early in their lives. This also probably means that our pattern of having a baby every odd-numbered year will be broken - but that’s ok, maybe then next six will be born on even-numbered years.

I am going to try and catch-up on the rest I missed, and morn the loss of who would have been our eleventh child. Please pray for us as we travel this road, again.
