We just got home from the hospital after spending about 6 hours there today with my brother and sis-in-law. As of this point, they're basically waiting for her to go into labor naturally.
There is nothing the doctors can do to keep the baby from coming as all of the amnio fluid is pretty much gone. As of 3 something this afternoon there was still a heartbeat, and then they removed the monitors and all, so we don't know if Baby is still fighting or not. If Baby is alive when sis delivers, they will obviously do what they can to help it survive, but they don't expect Baby to live longer than a few hours, if that long.
I believe in miracles -- I *am* a miracle as mom almost lost me at 6 months gestation. My son is a miracle, and I believe every child is, but some, well ... when you've waited and prayed and gone through procedure after procedure and had miscarriage after miscarriage like my brother and sister-in-law and my husband and I have gone through, your children are even more a miracle when they are born.
When she finaly delivers, we have to go through another funeral ... our second this year.
I'm so ready for this year to be over ...
Thank you everyone, those I know and don't know, but who have commented and tm'd me and prayed for my family today. You truly have no idea what it means to me to know people still care and that there is love and generosity spread throughout the masses even in this age.
Thank you ... so very much, everyone.
