Bad news guys.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Mrs. SoonerStormchaser just called.

The baby stopped growing at 6 weeks (three weeks ago), but the miscarriage hasn't happened yet.

This royally sucks that I can't be there with her (she's staying in Norman while I'm down here, possibly for the next 18 months)...so I'm asking for you guys to pray for her.

[Jerk]

sorry to hear about this.

We'll keep her in our prayers.

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

Aww, man...

:(

[Fugue]

prayers indeed, sorry Storm.

[tbl]

I hate to hear this. Just hate it... My wife and I will be praying for you guys.

[SicEmBaylor]

That's a heart wrenching turn of events. I'm very sorry to hear that. The best to you and yours.

[OU4LIFE]

dude.

very sorry man.

Prayers for you and yours.

[crawfish]

Sorry about that, dude. Been there before, it's tough. :(

[NormanPride]

Prayers indeed. Hopefully technology failed us and everything is fine. :(

prayers coming your way

[DustySooner]

[Okla-homey]

Are you telling me you can't arrange a couple days of emergency leave to go be with her? I order you to go talk to your supervisor and tell him/her WTF is going on and you need a couple days. I guarentee you the weather will happen whether you're there to study it or not.

Now, run like a bunny. That gal needs you. Seriously.

[IB4OU2]

I'm so sorry, I'm sending prayers to you and your wife. :(

[OCUDad]

IN. With condolences and prayers.

[soonersweetie]

I'm so sorry to hear that. I've been through something similar and it certainly isn't easy.

My prayers are with both of you. And listen to Okla-homey and ask for time off to be with her. You both need it.

[Viking Kitten]

Listen to Homey.

That sucks, hopefully it'll turn out for the best either way.

I am sorry to hear this man. Keep your head up, things will work out for you. We will send our thoughts and prayers your way...

[Tailwind]

:( Oh man! I'm so, so sorry.

[OklahomaTuba]

If it were me, and Lord help me I never have to go through something like this, I would move heaven and hell to be with my wife at this time. I cannot imagine something as aweful to go through in life, except to have to go through it alone.

May the Lord Bless you & your wife.

[SleestakSooner]

This recently happened with my brother and his wife. I hope that you are able to come home soon and be with her. She will need your support regardless. Wishing you both the best.

[OUHOMER]

Sorry Dude, Prayers comeing your way

[Newbomb Turk]

Very sorry to hear that. Prayers for your family.

[GottaHavePride]

[TexasSooner01]

Prayers being sent.

[PhxSooner]

:( So very sorry.

[VeeJay]

Very sorry to hear that. God Bless both of you.

[12]

Your bride needs you now. Go.

Any place not understanding the weight of this is no place you need to be.

God bless you both.

[Rogue]

Condolences to you and Mrs. SSC.

[royalfan5]

In on prayers. Good luck.

[Hot Rod]

Storm, I've been there before as well. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys.

[BoogercountySooner]

My wife and I went through this once. Prayers to you and your wife!

[MamaMia]

Sending prayers for you all.

[SoonerTerry]

My heart is with you.... so so sorry

[BajaOklahoma]

Thoughts are with you both. It's a sad time.

[Williesan]

As someone who experienced the pains of miscarriages with his wife several times, my sympathies and prayers are with you. It's upsetting, and it's painful, but trust me on this one - your time will come (ours did on 2/21/06 after 4+ years).

Also - your woman needs you. As 12 said - if your bosses can't allow you the time to deal with this, it's time to find other employment (if that's even an option...)

Prayers to you and your wife and hang in there.

Williesan

[Soonrboy]

Prayers being sent.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

prayers for all of of you. thats a terrible pain in life to experience

[SoonerGirl06]

There are no words that can ease the burden of pain that you and your wife are feeling during this difficult time, but please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you both.

[olevetonahill]

:( :( :( :(

DONE!

I got on the 5:40 Southwest flight outta San Antonio...got here at 8:30.
I've got up to two weeks emergency leave.

Carolyn's doing ok thus far (in between the bouts of crying). She's gonna have a D&C possibly on Thursday, since this is now a "missed" miscarriage..and they're gonna knock her out.

Having to call my parents and tell them was the worst phone call I've ever had to make.


Oh well, we're gonna get through this, bide our time...and then try again.

Thanks guys for all the support. You guys are the best.

[SleestakSooner]

Glad to hear that you can be with her.

[VeeJay]

Oh - man, that is tough.

Just be with your wife and let her know she's not going through it alone.

[SoonerStormchaser]

OH trust me, I'm having my bouts of tears too on this.

[VeeJay]

I know. I can only imagine.

My heart's with you, brother.

[ChickSoonerFan]

So so sorry. Nothing to say to make the pain go away.

Good job on getting to her, you will need eachother to get through this.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Here's the fun part.

This was the cheapest ticket I could take getting back to San Antonio ($130):

Oklahoma City-Cincinnati-PHOENIX on Delta

Overnight in Phoenix (luckily, my Godfather lives in Mesa)

Phoenix-San Antonio on America West.

WTH Orbitz? Good thing I'm Gold Medallion on Delta eh?


Ok, I'm off to take care of Carolyn...night all. More updates as they come.

[Preservation Parcels]

You did exactly the right thing when you went home to be with your wife. Hold her more than you ever have, tell her you love her over and over, and allow yourselves time to be sad together. People mean well, and just ignore them when they say stupid things in an effort to comfort you.

I'm praying through tears for you and all who love you.

[blueyedsooner]

Been there....RUN, don't walk to her. The support of just knowing you're there is what she needs the most! Prayers for you and yours!

[olevetonahill]

So glad you got the emergency leave . Hug her for all of us ok ?
Got a ? tho . couldnt you have hopped a Military flight ?

[Okla-homey]

So glad you got the emergency leave . Hug her for all of us ok ?
Got a ? tho . couldnt you have hopped a Military flight ?

Probably not a lot of military traffic between San Antone and Tinker. Hops are fine if you have a lot of time to waste waiting on connections. If you are time limited, its usually best to bite the bullet and go commercial.

[yermom]

:(

glad you were able to head home

[Chuck Bao]

Yes, ditto yermom!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours, Stormchaser.

[SoonerStormchaser]

She's still hanging in there...both of us didn't get much sleep last night (insert "duh" here).

We both knew going into trying to conceive that this could be a sad reality due to her age (44). Still, it royally sucks like :texan: when it happens.

I told her that, in spite of this, tomorrow's gonna be the best Valentine's Day EVER for me cause I'm finally married to her.

[fadada1]

very sad. keep trying as long as it's safe.

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

And getting home was the best thing you possibly could have done.

For more reasons than you can see right now.

Good luck to you both.

[85Sooner]

been there. Prayers go out to you and her.

[Osce0la]

Glad you were able to get home to your wife. Though nothing will really make this easy to deal with, it is better for both of you that you can be together while trying to get through this. I told my wife about this last night and she burst into tears hearing about it. Again, our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

[FaninAma]

Please accept my condolences for your and you wife's loss and may your wife have a speedy physical recovery....I know the emotional healing will take longer.

[CUinNC]

Coming from a booger who mostly lurks around, I have said a prayer for you today...

We went through the same loss - but with the Lord's help we now have 2 grown young men....

I pray for a safe recovery & also that your future is great.....take care...

[SoonerStormchaser]

Thanks guys...spek for everyone!

Edit: I guess I can only give so much in 24 hours...so I'll start again tomorrow with the middle of page 2.

[sooneron]

I am so sorry for you and the Mrs. You are both in my thoughts ....

[Ike]

Sorry to hear that Stormchaser. We went through almost the exact same thing this past summer. Best wishes to you and your wife.

[GrapevineSooner]

Prayers to you and Mrs. SSC.

I can't even begin to imagine what the two of you are going through.

[SoonerStormchaser]

OK. Everything's set.
D&C on Thursday at noon at NRH. She's gonna be put on bedrest through Monday.

We're doing fine, she's already talking about when we're going to try again. I can't thank you guys enough for your support on this. You guys really are the best.

~Steve

[TUSooner]

It's just a real sad deal.
Prayers and best wishes for you both.

[SoonerStormchaser]

We're gonna have the embryo genetically scanned just to make sure that, if there's anything we can do for Round 2, we get it taken care of.
Doc says no secks for the first week...and no secks w/o protection before her first complete cycle after that.
(Looks like a lot of weekend conjugal visits are gonna be in order.)

[TexasSooner01]

Everything will work out fine...

A good friend of mine had the same issue with her pregnancy. She ended up adopting an adorable little girl.

The lord works in mysterious ways....

[SleestakSooner]

On a good note...

ExpressJet (http://www.mysanantonio.com/business/stories/MYSA020207.01C.ExpressJet.15017ec.html) is soon going to have direct flights from San Antonio International Airport to OKC starting April 1st. I am not sure but I imagine they will go back and forth. According to the link above these flights should begin after the first of April... just in time for your conjugal visits. ;)

[Bama/OU]

Wow...just read this thread for the first time.....You and your wife are absolutely in my prayers....

[Okieflyer]

Prayers for their terrible time.:(

Sometimes we take life for granted.

I was all over that the first day it was announced!

[PhxSooner]

Prayers for your wife's recovery (physical and mental). I've had several friends experience this, and it hurts to hear every time. Just buy her lots of chocolate and expensive gifts!;)

[recemp]

Prayers are with you.
My son and his wife lost one. The next one was way premature and they had to endure heart surgeries and air lifts and whole host of other things. Don't know how they made it through, but I guarantee you they appreciate what they have.
Let it make you instead of break you.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

Prayers to you and your family.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Ok, after her waking me up at 5 am with another crying spell, I think I've finally gotten to the bottom of what's bugging her:

Lemme preface this first. For those of you not in on our oddball relationship, she's 20 years older than me and has three children from her previous marriage (the oldest is three years younger than me). Yes, it was a big time uphill battle to convince both our respective families that this was for real before we went to the altar last month (and there are still some who aren't on board yet), but they're finally coming around and offering their support.

Anyways, she's wanted to have at least one more child for a long time now, but not with ex-husband. But more than that, she finally tells me this morning, she's wanted to make me a daddy too, and that's what's hurting her the most...the fact that she thinks she failed me.

I told her that I married her for her...not for babies. If I wanted babies, I'd have found me some 24 year old with a nice *** and titties to knock up instead of a 44 year old with a nice *** and titties who happened to be my soulmate (wierd, I know...but we compliment each other so well, it's astonishing). I do want children, but it's not the end-all...first and foremost, I want her.

In spite of all the crap of the past few days, this is still the best Valentine's Day EVAR...cause I'm married to her. Wait til she sees the flowers I got her...

[Okla-homey]

Okay. I'll say it. This is starting to weird me out a little bit. Look, we support you and your family and hope for the best. Honestly. We also want to know how you guys are doing. But, maybe...you should consider sparing us the intimate details. Afterall, Mrs Stormchaser has a right to expect a reasonable degree of privacy.

[MamaMia]

Mrs. Stormchaser is blessed to have a husband who loves her so. I'm glad that you are there to comfort her and hope that you both have a nice Valentines Day. Oh, and please feel free to share whatever you wish with us. We may not be able to do much, but we can always lend and ear and a prayer. :)

[SoonerStormchaser]

Yes sir, Homey. You know I don't mean to wierd you out...I just figure this is my way of venting. And since you guys have been great at showing concern, I feel that you ought to know what's going on.

Mrs. Stormchaser has been reading the thread too...and she's really touched by the warm wishes and prayers going her way. Thanks!

[TexasSooner01]

She is very blessed to have a supportive and loving husband.

[Okla-homey]

Yes sir, Homey. You know I don't mean to wierd you out...I just figure this is my way of venting. And since you guys have been great at showing concern, I feel that you ought to know what's going on.

Mrs. Stormchaser has been reading the thread too...and she's really touched by the warm wishes and prayers going her way. Thanks!

okey-dokey. I was just suggesting that if I shared this sort of detail on the innerweb, Mrs Homey would be mad...to say the least.;)

[Dio]

Sorry to hear about this. You're both in my prayers.

[SoonerStormchaser]

The D&C went ok, she's resting and isn't in any pain whatsoever (which is surprising).

Thanks guys for all the support. I hope I can post better news in another 6-8 weeks.

~Steve

[Xstnlsooner]

Hang in there man. You guys are still in our prayers!
