Baby A...here tomorrow!

Jill went to the Dr today and he put her int he hospital, she was pre eclamtic,(sp) it was touch and go most of the day but her blood pressure stabilized and they will induce her tomorrow, a note from Alex:)


We are in a waiting process. Jill's blood pressure is still high, and she is just below the point where they would do a c-section. The baby's stats are great, it is Jill's vitals that have the Dr. concerned. They want her to deliver naturally if at all possible. They are giving her medication now to stabilize her and prepare her for labor, and the will begin the induction at 1:00 AM tomorrow morning. They will increase the "inducing" drugs at 7:00 AM and 1:00 PM tomorrow. The Dr expects for Jill to deliver sometime tomorrow afternoon if all goes as planned.

They have told us that A's lungs probably won't be fully developed, and that she will probably have to spend some time in the NICU, but also that they deliver babies that are more premature than her that are healthy.

I'll send another update tomorrow, or if anything changes.

Thanks for your prayers,
Alex

On the other hand, you know when I said I felt torn between work and Steve, well add Jill and Alex and A to that and Jill and A and Alex won:) I left Steve at hospital with his well wishes and Hannah came and was with him, Alicia went with me, guess God knew what He was doing in blessing me with so many children:) My Aunt Connie called and my Uncle's daughter who is 33 had Brian aneurysm and is not expected to live, they are in Tenn., it is just soooooo very sad, please pray for them. Steve did well, he is resting, has two bug cut open places in his back and he will need a week or so to heal, the Dr. said he has no vertebrae and needed to fused his lower vertebrae, when Steve gets to where he cannot stand the pain then the Dr. is ready to do it, in which I do not think Steve is, this pain deal in his back help with the pain. Well needless to say it has been a day.........going to be to get up early to meet miss A tomorrow:) remember us in your prayers......hugs and night!
