I am trying to stay calm. Once again my daughter is in the hospital with signs of going into labor 2 months early. We were hoping that the extra progesterone would keep baby in longer. To say the least, we are VEEEERRRRYYYYYYYYY disappointed.
This will be my daughter's 5th C section. PLEASE PRAY FOR HER AND BABY.
I wasn't planning on being gone for a month for several weeks yet. Now I have to hussle to get clothes washed for me and my guys. I had hoped to have some casseroles in the freezer for them before I made the 5 hour trip to my daughter's home. I told her that I cannot leave today.
The good news is that God provided a friend who has been coming in to their home 5 days a week for several months. The children know her and love her already. Cora said she asked her to come in early today. I sure hope she could as the other Grandma, who came in the middle of the night, will have her hands full with 5 children at home as they wake up wondering where their Mama is.
I know I should be getting the washing machine going but writing has always been my therapy. Also I know that many of my readers must be prayer warriors as I can feel the prayers coming when I ask for them. May our loving Heavenly Father bless you for keeping my daughter's family in your prayers for their needs are urgent.
I need prayers, too, as I have to make the long trip alone tomorrow if they need to take the baby today. My guys are still planting the crops so Robert is unable to get away until that is done. I'm still dealing with cancer in my right shoulder but it is mostly gone now. Like I said, "I am trying to stay calm."
When I taught my children to be pro-life, as they watched me have miscarriage after miscarriage, I never thought it would mean my daughter would have to go through 3 week NICU stays with premie babies. She is THE MOST AMAZING WOMAN I KNOW. How I wish she didn't have to go through this again.
More good news is that they gave her the steroid shot when she got to the hospital at 2:00 AM this morning. They'll give her a second one 24 hours later if the contractions can be stopped for that long. This rapidly develops the lungs of the baby so no oxygen is needed. Two babies back there was time to get both of those shots and the baby needed no oxygen unlike the baby before who didn't get the shot as it was the first premie. That baby needed oxygen for 10 days. With the last baby there was only time to get 1 shot in and that baby's lungs were fine too.
Please pray that this baby's lungs are fine if there is only time for 1 steroid shot.
Like I said before, I am trying to stay calm as I wait for news if they were able to get the contractions to stop. I'm praying that they stop and baby stays in a couple more weeks. That will help so much!!!
May God bless you all,
Dawn
