My brother let me know last night that my SIL was back in the hospital. She has been in and out for the last week or so. Lots of edema and BP high. She will be 23 weeks in the next few days. Heavy duty prayers are needed as Jennifer's BP is going high.

Brother said:
QUOTE
Jennifer has all the markers for Preeclampsia  the baby is doing fine presently,  but is only 23 weeks along, and isn’t due till October 3rd  but today’s sonogram showed damage to her uterus and poor bloodflow .

Tonight Jennifer was given steroids (betamethasone) to help the baby’s lung and intestinal growth ……  because the baby may need to be born within the next 2 weeks to protect the lives of Mom and baby


Prayers please!!!

Prayers being said. I'm glad the doctors are being so pro active with the steroid shots. Here's hoping for a healthy baby and strong mommy.

Thanks all! My brother said that the Doctor's goal is that if Jennifer has no adverse side-effects of the steroids to make it to at least Monday .... Then take it day-day.

prayers said, this is very close to my heart. the steroids do amazing things to speed development. the baby will be in for a long road but sooo much better when they get the steroids in time. you know zaviers story, he was 25 weeks and a few days and now at 4 years has no lung problems. colds stick around a little longer but thats it. do you know if the baby is a boy or girl? wondering because as a rule, girls do better then boys this early.

Praying now.

The steroids are a great help in baby development. My premie is now 22 years old, played high school and college football and is big as a house. With the help of the shots, he was able to go home with me, although I was delayed a day or two. If that will encourage Jennifer, please feel free to share.

I haven't been on all day. The baby was born around 7pm or so. She is in the NICU, she was baptized Christina Maria. She was only 12 ozs. They did intubate but it didn't go well, not sure how she is now. (survival is not likely) I hate being so far away. Jennifer is in recovery and her bp is going down, she will be fine the docs said. My brother is a mess. Two of my brothers are with him. Jennifer's parents are caring for their 6 year old and my brother has not called them to tell them that the baby is here yet.

Edited to add: Prayers please for my brother (Bobby), Jennifer and Christina.
