OMG!!!!!!!!!! Debby,why....... Like Lynn said don't
let it rupture.Michaela mention to Sully that some marriages get broken when a child dies,I hope this won't happen here.
First Michaela is afraid to be pregnan because she is to old,and now she does not want to loose the baby,I hope Sully make her understand that there is 5 more children to think about.I know is a very hard hard decision.
What is going to happen now...............

Wow! I definitely did not see that coming!

I wish there was a miracle way to have the baby and Michaela too, but I'm sure there isn't. This is gonna be a rough time for the Sully family.

Can't wait for tomorrow's chapter. I'm off to cry in my coffee over the lost Sully child.

Debby I am really trying here...but this story really gets to me.... I know, remember the title...you have it easy, you know what happens but I DON'T!!!! Oh, I can't wait!!!!! First thing tomorrow morning....READING!!!!!

Tina,
When a story can engage readers and make them feel such empathy for the characters, it's very rewarding to the writer.
I know this is not an easy story to read, and it was even more difficult to write. I think that's one reason it took me so long to write it.
Posting from now on will be a bit later in the morning than it has been.

Dear Debby:
I have to admit when I first started reading this story I thought "A Crisis of Faith" was going to center on Michael's illness. I was totally surprised when the focus shifted to Michaela. As a physician she knows all the risks involved concerning her condition. To risk leaving her other children motherless hasn't sunk in yet. We know that she has always cherished each of her pregnancies no matter the outcome, but this situation is even more dangerous than her pregnancy with Hope. Sully's support is going to be crucial, and she is going to have to be open with him in order for both of them to deal with this situation. Needless to say, I awake each day and head straight for the computer before I do anything else. Thank you for this great story.

Mary Dee,
Thanks for your insightful analysis of the story thus far. It is certainly a crisis that will test both Michaela and Sully, their marriage and family.
I appreciate your reading and taking the time to comment.
Whether readers share their remarks during or after the story, I am grateful for the feedback.
All the best,
Debby K
