I've spent the entire day at the hospital with my daughter.

The baby's movements are very low and his heart rate isn't doing the proper accelerations.

They're keeping her all night and more decisions will be made tomorrow. I was with her today. Her hubby's staying with her tonight so I could come home to my boy, and I'll go back out in the morning.

The OB said that he would take the baby now if she were one or two weeks further along, but he's not convinced that the level of concern at this point (though high) equals the potential concern if he's born right now, so he's watching another 24 hours. He said if he delivered now he could have difficulties with lungs and might not even be able to eat yet.

If he picks up tonight, he may send her home and monitor her from his office. If he doesn't, he may decide to deliver him.

I'll keep you updated as I can. If you PM me in the next few days and don't receive a response in a few hours and it's about a site issue, please PM a moderator, January or DocJohn.

Love to all,

KD

So much love and prayers going out to you and your family Kimmy. There is strength in numbers, strength in friendship and strength in God's love and will.

What tomorrow brings will be a miracle in every sense of the word. With every moment that goes by, God will bless you all with his devine plan.

I know you are on autopilot now. That's not a bad thing. It's the way things get done when under extreme stress. I hope you will find a few moments today for yourself to rejuvenate. So you can continue to give your love and support to those in need.

All my love and prayers to you and your family I don't know what tomorrow brings

(((KD))) (((baby))) You know, none of us know what tomorrow brings. God promises we won't get more than we can handle, no matter how tough it might be to handle.

I don't know what tomorrow brings

Doctors know so much about keeping babies and moms alive during this process nowdays. I don't know what tomorrow brings

My neice had a baby the end of June, wasn't due till July 4th but they had to do a c-section to rescue the baby. All are well now. (And I get to see him when I go on my trip, through Denver! :chili

You will soon be rejoicing I hope over the enlarged family!

Thank you so much
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((friends)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

My daughter is home. Little JJ's movements picked up last night and this morning so her OB has allowed her home, but to monitor his movements closely. If he has another really "sluggish" period, she's to call immediately.

I guess if this happens soon, they'll monitor closely again, but if it happens in a week or two they might get him out here to us.

Thank you so much for the prayers and thoughts, fingers and toes crossed too I don't know what tomorrow brings It's kept us all going, but especially this already strong little guy.

Much love and thanks!

KD

Good to hear that things got better with JJ! I don't know what tomorrow brings

Don't despair if they need to take him early. My youngest grandson was born three months premature but he was a fighter from the get-go. He needed to be resusitated when they took him, he couldn't eat and I think they had oxygen to him, but he's made it just fine! He's 18 months old and whirling dervish! LOL I don't know what tomorrow brings He's the one that yells at me if I don't acknowledge him right away and when I look at him, he makes eyes at me! hehehe He's so beautiful! Your grandson will be, too! I don't know what tomorrow brings

Good to hear baby is moving again, brings back memories of when I was pregnant with my first born. I had to spent 4 months in hospital lying flat on my back because of blood pressure problems and pre aclampsia(sp) but worth it in the end of course.

Sounds like this little JJ is a fighter, I got my fingers, toes and hooves crossed that all will be ok.

love. I don't know what tomorrow brings
