7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 111)

January 7, 2011 | 57 comments

Hi, everyone. Jen’s friend Hallie here. Jen asked me to let you know that though she’ll still be hosting 7 Quick Takes this week, she–sadly for the rest of us–won’t be able to write her own.

Jen’s been having regular pain in her legs for a while now. Since her clotting disorder puts her at an increased risk for DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis), her doctor thought it would be best for her to head to the hospital for an emergency ultrasound of her legs this evening.

I know she’s looking forward to reading your Quick Takes, though, so link away! (And check out her Twitter account for updates!)

Below is a linky list if you’d like to add a link to your own 7 Quick Takes post. (1) Make sure the link you submit is to the URL of your post and not your main blog URL. (2) Include a link back here.

You can count on my prayers for your health, Jen, and of course that of your baby. I’m trying a 7 Quick Takes this week for the first time; I’ve loved seeing it here for the past few years.

Jen, you’re in my prayers. Do follow all medical advice and take it easy. Not easy to do, I know, but essential. Trying my first 7 Quick Takes this week.
Dorian Speed on January 7, 2011 at 2:42 am

Jen, I know the most important thing you can do right now is rest, but I do hope you’ll let us know how you are feeling. You and your little one are in my prayers.
Kerrie on January 7, 2011 at 3:25 am

Jen get all the rest you need. You are in my prayers.

I’ve been thinking of you alot today, Jen (I have this unusual personality type that clues me in to certain events, which I use as hints to pray). Glad to know why you’ve been on my mind. Continuing to pray.

Kristen @ St Monica's Bridge on January 7, 2011 at 6:31 am

Jen, I have Factor V, so I know all too well the struggles with Lovanox, Heparin, and the risk of DVT during pregnancy. I am offering up all my struggles today in parenting for you and certainly asking St Gerard Majella and St Elizabeth Ann Seton to protect you as well as Our Lady of Guadalupe. Lots of love :)Kristen
Maia on January 7, 2011 at 7:07 am

I won’t be posting a 7 Quick Takes this Friday, but wanted to say that you, baby, and family are in my prayers. Offering up discomfort (which I dislike more than pain) for you. Padre Pio was the saint who my family and I asked for intercession with my pregnancy DVT, and I’ll be asking him for special prayers for you!
