Hello My Blue family,
It's me, Tenisia again.  I just wanted to give you a quick update with us.  Well as most of you know I was suppose to have a procedure done to remove the tumor on my ovary and the endometriosis.  But when it came time for the surgery the surgeon that was suppose to do it pretty much backed out.  She had never worked on a case as sever as mine and did not feel comfortable operating on me.  So once again she referred me to another Doc.  This Doc specialises in Ovarian and Cervical Cancers.  He is one of the top Docs in his field.  But once i met with him he had explained that if he went in he would probably have to remove everything.  I told him that I really wanted to have kids so before he did that I wanted to know for sure whether or not I would be able to have a baby.  So he referred me to ANOTHER doc.  A fertility specialist. The hubby and I had our first appointment wit her last week to discuss my history and such.  Anyways to make long story short, today I had a procedure called a Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) also know as getting your tubes blown out.  This is a procedure to determine whether or not a woman's fallopian tubes are open.  If they are are she can get pregnant.  If they are not....well you pretty much know that story.  The test was the most painful thing I ever experienced.  They pushed a dye into my tubes to see if they would spill over.  I only have 1 ovary so she was hoping that the tub attached to that ovary would spill over.  Unfortunately for us the test revealed that my fallopian tube is closed.  So the hubby and I are unable to get pregnant.  I was devastated that I cried for hours.  The doctor gave me another option. Here it is:  Next week (Wed to be exact) I will having to have a partial hysterectomy.  Both of my fallopian tubes will be removed.  She will be cutting me open from one hip bone to another.  So it is a major surgery.  But she gave me a glimpse of hope because she told me that she was going to try and spare and save any good eggs she finds.  If she finds any then she will do an invitro procedure. That is a procedure that is often know as "Test Tube Baby"  The egg is fertilized in a test tube and then placed inside the women.  So we are really staying prayerful that this can work because it's kind of our last option.  I am really trying to stay strong but it gets so discouraging because I am ready to just be healthy.  I am ready to be normal.  I am ready to not hurt anymore. I am tired of all the meds and the bed-rest.  I just want to be normal.  And most importantly I want to be a mother.  But only God knows if that's what He wants for me.  I guess I am using this opportunity to vent because I feel like I'm getting weak.  And it's so hard.  It's hard for me and it's hard for my husband.  I am 25 years old and have been through so much.  I am trying to hold on to my faith but it gets hard sometimes.  I am scared and even though I have the biggest family there is (my blue family) it gets lonely sometimes when you feel like your having to go through it alone because no one can understand, even when they are kind enough to try.  And when it seems like it will never end.  But I am trying you guys.  Trying to be strong.  And it's getting frustrating.....Because of this we am coming to you in need.  In need of many prayers.  We need family and friends.  Just in need of your support.  Both of us are..  So please keep my husband and I in your prayers, because if there was ever a time we need them it is now.  I love all of you and appreciate all of your support.  Once again if you would like to respond please send it to my e-mail...wwjd111281@yahoo.com.   God Bless.

Tenisia and Geoffrey Stirrup

I just read this a little late but I will definetly keep you and your famili in my prayers. We get put through all kinds of test but we must trust in him. Even when all seems lost God shows up he is a miracle God!

I love you and you are in my prayers...
