Anyone heard any news about this?  I'm praying that the "no news is good news" here.

Still in our thoughts and prayers!!!

Update....  Jen is home now on strict bed rest.  Her cervix has shortened to about 2cm (not great) and is funneling about 1/4 of that.  She has been violently throwing up for the entire weekend, and the resulting bearing down on the babies isn't helping at all.  They have put her on Indocin for the contractions and Zofram (sp?) for the throwing up.  They also have her on antibiotics because they think she may have a sinus infection which would explain the nasea and the contractions.

I have been a wreck, and my lovely friend we call the Beast has not missed a beat this weekend at all.  I feel really stupid trying to be the calming force for my wife when the beast is beating me down.

All of the prayers are appreciated, and I know our two little boys are still alive right now.  They only need a few more weeks before we have about a 50/50 chance of survival outside the womb.  I can't imagine what our lives would look like if we fail at this again after having gotten this far.  But, life has never been predictable or fair.  Sometimes I wonder why it has to be like this.  Then I remember, without this kind of perspective, nothing good in my life has any meaning.  I thank God for the trials and tribulations, and I know I am a lucky man, because WHEN they are born I will celebrate with the full realization of how truly special they are.

Thank you, all of you.

Continuing to send prayers for the babies and for you and your wife.

Still sending positive healing vibes and prayers out to you and your family Shawn.

For you - to keep the beast away during this tough time.

For your wife's sickness to go away so she can concentrate on resting.

And for your boys; that they hold their horses and not be so impatient to meet their parents. Stay in the warm and keep growing little ones!

We are praying for you all and understanding your fears and anxiety, for each day that passes gives them a little better chance for survival.

My daughter Judy had preemie twins at 26 weeks, so we know what you are going through.

God bless your family and give your little boys the time that they need to develope enough to survive.

Heavenly Father, please answer our prayers with your blessing and the delivery of two healthy little guys.

Jen had the cervical cerclage put in 4 weeks ago.  We are hoping this will make the difference.  Last time, the specialist said we should, but the OB said he didn't see any good reason to do it.  Obviously, there are bad feelings about the way that turned out.

Jen is sounding much happier today, and the vomiting seems to be over.  She is still on indocin, which is hard on the stomach (as are the antibiotics), but all in all I think things are improving.  I'm back on the road in San Jose going out of my mind like normal.

Thanks, everybody.

WHEN those beautiful baby boys are born we will all celebrate the miracle of life with you both!  God Bless You!

Thank you for keeping us up to date, Shawn.  Sounds as if this immediate problem is on its way to being controlled.  Good.

Still hoping that all will be well, and continuing to send you and yours our best wishes.

You two haven't failed at ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ALWAYS KNOW THAT!!!

At times like these there really isn't anything I can say to make the pain or heartache go away, but to surround you all with love and support.

You will continue to be in our hearts and prayers until those little boys take their first breath in the new world.  Keep the faith...


Much love,
Steph and Deej
