More Stress...

Today, Friday 11/11, we had yet another doctors appointment with ultrasound. It seems that Suzanne's cervix has opened almost all the way. There was very little still partially closed. As a result, Suzanne was brought back to her room for the 2nd dose of steroids, Magnesium Sulfate to stop any contractions and to relax any smooth muscle, and also on an IV drip. She is also on antibiotics to protect her and baby from any infection. Due to the Mag. Sulfate numbing muscles, that means that she has to have a catheter which she does not enjoy since that means no getting out of bed at all. She is on a monitor to measure baby’s heartbeat and to see if she’s having any contractions. She has had very few and they are considered very small contractions. Of course this is not the news we wanted to hear today, but every day that baby stays in mommy’s tummy the better. Just pray that those days can turn into weeks and weeks to come.
We can also not forget that today marks 1 year since our first child Ian was baptized and later brought into the Kingdom of God. We are hoping that he will watch over his mommy and little brother or sister to keep them safe and healthy. Please continue to pray for the 3 of us as we get through this very trying time.
