A Decision

I have to decide sometime this week whether or not to do progesterone shots for the remainder of my pregnancy. It's something they do with patients who have unexplained pre-term labor and delivery to try and avoid it.

They had originally told me that they didn't think it necessary for this pregnancy, as I'm a very borderline candidate for it. I was so glad not to have to even think about it.

But then Dr. Bowden called me first thing this morning and told me that after talking to the board of doctors they had changed their minds and are now strongly recommending I take them. Still, the decision is mine. I highly respect Dr. Honsinger and I know he is the reason they have changed their minds, but I have a hard time discerning what's best for us. Lyle thinks there is no need as Camden was born as healthy as a full-term baby. It doesn't help that even the doctors keep changing their minds and/or disagree on what's needed.

I realize that God is always in control, but I still agonize over this. Please pray for me as I make this decision. I don't feel entirely at peace with either course of action.
