The Kitchen Table

Need some Prayer Power!

16 years ago

DS just called and said DDIL has been admitted to the hospital.She is expecting twins Aug.17.She was at work,(she's a pediatric nurse at the Univ of NM Hospital),and was feeling kind of "funny" so she went to see her doctor.She is having mild contractions and they are keeping her for a few days for observation.DS was at home and has no way to get to the hospital tonight as she has the truck.She works in Albuquerque and they live 40 minutes from there,so he was a little upset that he isn't there with her.One of their friends will pick him up in the morning when they get off work and take him.The doctor says the babies are fine right now but I have a feeling she will be off her feet for the rest of the pregnancy though.She is 37 and this is her first babies so her pregnancy is high risk. Please pray for them and the babies if you don't mind.

Thank you all again. It's good to come here, as I mentioned on another post to 'escape'. Also to 'feel' the caring support from all of you. Update as of today...Dad needs a transfusion. It seems there is blood loss within the bone. His blood count has dropped, but I was told that in the elderly it's not uncommon. The problem is he's refusing it. We are trying to convince him it's for his own good if he wants to get better and go home. Tomorrow he'll make his decision. OA..you're right - nothing happens in the order we expect. Punk.. 'Looking up and asking for help' certainly does help get you through most situations. Kathleen...I remember you mentioning losing your Dad at a young age.. I thought how strong you mother was raising you and your sisters alone. As far as 'bittersweet' feelings on Christmas...I can totally relate to that. We lost DH's Mom on Christmas - his Dad on Easter..a Sister on Memorial Day, and now our Neice on Mother's Day.. As hard as it may be, it's so important for us to look forward and find the good in each day and make the most of it. janet1...I will keep your DGD in my prayers..and will look forward to you sharing all the 'Good News' about your new GGD. jan..thanks for all the helpful information. You brought up lots of good points on what to do once he's in rehab. Pictures, food and an Afghan are wonderful ideas. I just hope he accepts going to rehab eaisly..and that he agrees to one close enough to make the visits easy. You can see, with his personality...I can only 'suggest' it...lol He's the one in charge!! jane

We went through the same thing w/ our twins. DD#2 was hosp. for a couple of weeks and then allowed to go home to bedrest. Her babies were born at 35.6 weeks and weighed 6 lbs. 1 oz. (both the same). They are fine. The longer she can carry those twins the better off they will be. DD#2 has a friend that had her twins at 32 wks. and there's definitely something wrong w/ one of them. You have my prayers. Been there, scared me to death, but all's fine. I'm going to see them tomorrow, as a matter of fact!
