My wife just left the dr's office and was told she would be lucky to make it to 32 weeks before giving birth. She is currently at 25 weeks. She has been put on bed rest, and by the end of the week may be put on bed rest at the hospital.
Neither of us are taking this very well. Our last daughter was born at 34 weeks and spent 3 weeks in the NICU, while there we saw 2 that didn't make it. Knowing that we are definitely going to be there again is very difficult. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Chris |
Title: Re: Thoughts and Prayers Post by QnHeartMM on Feb 5th, 2009 at 2:30pm
Oh dear. We'll surely keep you both in our prayers. We'd also be happy to send cards to help her keep her spirits up, if that's ok please PM me the address.

Oh Chris, my heart is breaking for you two!! If there's anything I can do, anything at all, to help you guys out, you know my number, don't hesitate to use it.
You will be in our thoughts and prayers; Sending all the positive baby vibes and good health vibes I can your way; Fubar - Shawn, and his wife, just went through a lengthy ordeal themselves with their twins; They lost their first pregnancy, and the 2nd was very touch and go. With the aid of all the positive energy, prayers and support from this family, along with a good helping of great medical care, they delivered 2 healthy beautiful babies that are doing great. We will do no less for you and the little one waiting to join us in the world. Now you listen up little one - that's quite enough of this - you will stay put, snug and cozy and safe in your Mommy's tummy until you are the very least 38 weeks - do you understand? There will be no argument, you just stay put there until we tell you it's ok to come out! Good, I knew you'd understand! *hugs* Chris, hang in there. Call if you need anything at all. Cat |

Title: Re: Thoughts and Prayers Post by Chris Morrow on Feb 6th, 2009 at 3:13pm
Update: Just came back from the doc, and she will continue 100% bed rest at home (her next visit is on Thursday. I am praying she stays out of the hospital.) They will be continuing to give Sarah Progesterone injecvtions once a week, and believe that may help prevent early labor, but we are still being told that our goal is 32 weeks.
Sarah's spirits are down, but I am continuing to encourage her every way I can. It's difficult being the supporter. I am going on my second PF day....it's been a while since I have seen those! Please keep us in your prayers, and thank you for all of the kind words and prayers. Chris |
Title: Re: Thoughts and Prayers Post by Artonio on Feb 6th, 2009 at 3:19pm
Thanks for the update Chris. I'm glad that Sarah made it home... hospitals can be such a drag. Tell her that she's in my thoughts and prayers.
Keep your spirits up Chris... glad that you're two days pain free... I hope it lasts a lifetime. with warm regards, Tony |
Title: Re: Thoughts and Prayers Post by Jackie on Feb 6th, 2009 at 7:50pm
Appreciate the update, Chris....
Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.... Love to you all, Jackie |
Title: Re: Thoughts and Prayers Post by Chris Morrow on Feb 10th, 2009 at 10:27am
We went back to the doctor yesterday for a check on my wife. Her cervix grew from 2cm to 2.8cm. The doctor said he has never seen more improvement than .5cm. It was very positive news. She is still on bedrest and meds. It was a very good day!
Thanks to all for your prayers! Chris |
Title: Re: Thoughts and Prayers Post by midwestbeth on Feb 10th, 2009 at 10:31am
That's great new's Chris! Will continue with prayers and vibes for mom and baby. Thanks for the update.

That's great news Chris! Thanks for keeping us updated. Make sure you continue to let us know how she's doing, and we'll continue to bombard your family with prayers, love, support and positive vibes.
Tell that doctor that he has just witnessed the power of cluster sufferers at work. I told ya, this place has produced miracles. We look out for each other. Keeping you in the forefront of my mind Cat p.s. how's your head doing? any more pain free days? |
Title: Re: Thoughts and Prayers Post by Jackie on Feb 10th, 2009 at 4:18pm

We went back to the doctor yesterday. Sarah is still maintaining 2.8cm, and is still on bedrest. She was layed off from her job, but is getting a note from doctor showing she is 100% disabled. Yesterday was a difficult day for me and I have some tough choices to make now.

My wife's water broke Saturday. She is now on hospitalized bed rest and they are trying to keep her from going into labor for the next 2 weeks, but do not feel very optimistic she will get that far. They gave her 2 doses of steriods to help speed the development of our daughter's lungs and brain. We did get an ultra sound this morning showing the baby is 4 lbs. She is almost 33 weeks.
|
Title: Re: Thoughts and Prayers Post by Guiseppi on Apr 6th, 2009 at 10:27am
Stop being in such a damned hurry little one! ;) Still praying the baby waits a bit longer but 4 pounds...relatively speaking that's almost full term!!! [smiley=hug.gif]

Hang on, sweet baby! Stay where you are warm and safe for just a bit longer!
Chris, we will keep our thoughts and prayers going for your new daughter, and you must keep thinking positive as well! FUBAR! Where are you?? Sending my strongest vibes, constantly! Cathi |
Title: Re: Thoughts and Prayers Post by ClusterChuck on Apr 6th, 2009 at 1:57pm
Weight does not determine full grown ... Both of my sons were over eight pounds, yet they were 7 weeks premature, and had to go into the neonatal intensive care, because their lungs were not fully developed yet.
Hang in there, lil one! Don't be in such a rush to get out of that nice warm, comfortable home that you are in! Prayers are heading your way still! Chuck |
Title: Re: Thoughts and Prayers Post by FramCire on Apr 6th, 2009 at 2:11pm

The C section has been scheduled for 4/20/09, although our doctor believes that she only has about a week left. They are very focused on delaying labor and preventing infection.
Sarah is very stressed, but her spirits are rising. Thanks for all of your support and prayers. Chris |

Well! good job, taking the limelight off your wife, Chris! NOW she can rest without being bothered.....err, and you can suffer the pain of a broken elbow.........
Seriously, was thinking, you're now a week closer to full-term! ONE more week!! Here's hoping your elbow heals quickly, the baby grows strong, and the delivery is timely and without problems! Hang tight and keep us posted still! Cathi |
