Update: 6:45 p.m. VERY URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

6:45 p.m.
I just heard from my aunt and "A" is all settled in at UAB. She has been seen by the OBGYN and the Pediatrician and as of right now they are playing the waiting game. "A" has not dialated anymore, but as lost almost all of the amniotic fluid. They are trying to obtain a sample of the fluid to test the development of "Baby L's" lungs. "A" will be 34 weeks on Thursday, if "Baby L" has not made her grand entrance, the Dr. will take the baby via c-section as a safety precaution.

We will leave here at 6 a.m. to travel to the hospital tommorrow to spend some time with our family.

Thank you for your prayers!

FRIENDS...
I received a call this morning that my cousin/one of my very best friends water had broken and she and her husband we're on their way to SEAMC. "A" isn't due until 1 July so going into labor today makes her about 5 1/2 weeks early. Had she been 4 days further along Dr. P said he would have felt better about keeping her here, but he dosen't want to risk ANYTHING. Dr. P being the great Dr. that he is has sent her by ambulance to UAB Women and Infant's Center in Birmingham and another Dr. P will recieve here there. I believe this was the best decision for her. The Dr. explained that even if "Baby L" was born today she would be sent to Birmingham anyways because of under developed lungs, so it was best to send "A" while "Baby L" is still in her mommy's little incubator with the hopes that MAYBE delivery can hold off for 24-36 more hours. Mommy and baby's STATS are both very good and

"A" is on the road now traveling with CARE Ambulance and her nurse from the hospital. "A's" mom, step-mom and dear SIL are behind the Ambulance, my Aunt and Uncle are close behind them, and the "A''s" hubby is on the road too, a little further behind because we needed to get some bags packed for Mommy, Baby and Daddy.

Please pray for clear roads and safety of travely. Pray that ALL parties involved (including myself b/c Im a nervous wreck here in Dothan) would experience a calmness and a sense of control over the entire situation. Please pray for the OBGYN, Pediatric Drs, and Nurses that will be involved in the care of "A" and "Baby L".

I Will Update as soon as I know something more.

Will hold them all up in prayer. I agree, B'ham is the best place to be in this case!

And, yes, those were some of your little ballerinas in my pic. So cute!
