Prayers For My SIL Please

[crewsk]

Hubby just called & told me that our SIL is in the hospital. She is expecting her 3rd baby, has been on complete bed rest for the last few weeks, & she started having some problems last night. She is due in early Sept. but they had a C-section planned for Aug. 24. Right now, I don't know if they are going to go ahead & take the baby or not, but chances are that they will.

Prayer wheel is spinning.

Thanks Raine!

It's pretty close to her due date, crewsk. I wouldn't be too alarmed (easy for me to say, I know). Prayers going her way.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Crewsk.
My great niece was born 5 months too early, she weighed 1lb and 8oz.
She went through heart surgery, both lungs collapsing and I don't remember how many blood transfusions, she is now 7 years old and honery as you know what!!
My youngest was premature by 5 weeks weighing 4lbs 13oz. The only thing that he needed was to be in an incubator for 2 weeks to maintain body temp.
Babies are very reselient{sp} They dumbfound the best of doctors. The baby will be perfect and you will all be holding a perfect little bundle!

I went through an experience like hers and it was a very scary time in our lives. My heart and prayers go out to her and your family. Please keep us posted.

I hope everything works out well Crewsk. I am confident it will. It is amazing what they can do with pregnancies these days! My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family!!!

 

[crewsk]

I wouldn't be as worried if her first 2 had been normal pregnancies. She had a hard time with both of those & even though they were only born a couple of weeks early, we almost lost her & the babies both times.


Texasgirl, Savannah was born 2 1/2 months early & weighed 2lbs 10oz. She had 2 blood transfusions & was in the hospital about 2 1/2 months. So, I know the feeling, even though the situations were diffrent. It's nerve racking & you just don't know what to do with yourself. Savannah's 5 now & she can be as mean as a snake & then 2 seconds later turn around & be as sweet as sugar. It's amazing what the docs can do now.

Thank you all for your thoughts & prayers, I appriciate it & I know my SIL will too!

Thanks Andy & Sandy! I just found out that they will be taking the baby at 1:00 this afternoon. I'm excited & scared at the same time! This will be the 9th time I've become an aunt but it's just as wonderful as the 1st!

Thanks kadesma!

 

[Alix]

Prayers and hugs all around. Go get that goody basket filled up to take to the new mom. It will keep you busy, and your thoughts positive.

 

[Barbara L]

The family has my prayers too. I couldn't imagine going through that, and I pray everyone's fears are calmed and all turns out well.

Alix, how did you know what I was doing! My BIL is an awesome cook but I know with 2 girls already & a new baby boy he won't want to spend time cooking. I'm making them brownies & putting together the stuff for a spaghetti dinner. I've got spaghetti sauce simmering right now & that will go into freezer containers for them to use as needed. Not to mention the basket of baby goodies that I've been collecting for them.

 

[crewsk]

Thanks Barbara! I just recieved an email from my preacher's wife that included the chorus to a song she's singing at churh Sunday & between reading those words & everyones posts here it has really helped calm my fears.


You are all very special people & I am blessed to have you in my life!

 

[Alix]

LOL crewsk, it is what I would be doing! Send some "pretty stuff" to the new mom too. Some nice hand/face lotion (hospitals are so dry!), nice earrings maybe? I always sent some peppermint tea for anyone who has had a c section too. Helps with the bloating and stuff afterward and the nurses will let you have it.

 

[crewsk]

Thanks Alix! I was trying to come up with something for her too but for some reason I couldn't think of anything.
