: : : Hello,
: : : My husband and I lost our first child, Dylan Michael Jones in June 2002. Dylan was stillborn during my seventh month of pregnancy. I have since found out that I have a blood clotting disorder which may have caused clots in the placenta or u/c, which may have caused Dylan's death. While we miss our son terribly, we realize that he is with God, the Father and in a place far more beautiful than I could ever imagine. We find comfort in knowing that our little wonder is eternally with Jesus.
: : : I am requesting prayers that my husband and I conceive again very soon. We have been trying to conceive since October 2002 and have not yet been successful. I trust in God's divine timing and ask for your collective prayers that it happen very soon. I would also ask that you intercede for us that we have a problem-free pregnancy with a live, healthy child at the end of the pregnancy. This desire is deeply rooted in my heart. Please also pray that my husband and I grow stronger together as we face the trials and tribulations of secondary infertility after a loss. It is a very trying to road to follow. We have faith that it will happen and are so grateful for your prayers. May God richly bless all of you on this journey.

: : Dear Gillian,
: : I apologize for not responding to your prayer request immediately but, my father-in-law passed away on August 1 so my thoughts and energy have been diverted to family this month.
: : I am so sorry that you and your husband have had to experience such pain and suffering in the death of Dylan. Our sorrows and struggles in life can not only bring us closer together as husband and wife but closer to God. We have also experienced the loss of a child and infertility and our greatest strengths came from within our own relationship, prayer and our hope for the future. I will continue to pray for you Gillian and your husband. May God be with you.
