I found this blog from a friend and I should have NOT read it. I sat in my office and cried like a baby. All of the feelings of when Kasi was in the hospital (7 months pregnant) with Mason and her appendix had burst. I remember sitting with her and the doctor's (every OB in town) checking her out and not knowing what was wrong. We waited hours and hours before they took her in for surgery. Every doctor trying to diagnose her and Kasi masking the symptoms and the pain. She knew she was in trouble and so did I, but this was out of my hands. I felt so helpless and wanted this experience to go away. When the doctor's finally said we need to do an amniocentesis test and there is a large risk in doing so. Dr. Tug Miller telling me that I may lose my wife and baby if her appendix had ruptured and the poisoned fluid mixes with the baby's amniotic fluid. He explained what was going to happen and I had to sign a form stating the risk. I had no other choice but to have the procedure done. When I was reading this blog, all my feelings that I felt while she was in surgery came back. I was scared and couldn't do anything about it. I prayed like I have never prayed before. I had a good feeling inside, but still the unknowing. The Lord has a plan and he is in control. This story of Natalie is amazing. I don't even know her, but she is a powerful person. We knew Colby by going to Cafe Rio daily for Lunch and Dinner, but only heard stories about Natalie. I love my Kasi more than you know. She is an AMAZING wife, mother and friend. She makes life worth living.
