Hospitals & Snow

Hello friends and family! We have found our way to the hospital again. Kristy was having more contractions than normal and the docs wanted us to come in to make sure everything was OK. We got here around 3 am. Things looked OK, but there were still too many contractions. They gave Kristy some endocin and things seemed to calm down in the afternoon. We did get the biophysical profiles done for each of the kids. They all passed with 8 points (out of 8). Two points given for each of the following things: sufficient amniotic fluid in their sac, gross movement, practicing breathing, and one other thing I can't remember. The babies needed to be doing these things at 30 weeks, but they are doing them at 28 weeks (where we are right now) and we (and the docs) are very happy with their progress. We are spending tonight just continuing to monitor Kristy and make sure the contractions are managed. If necessary, Kristy may need a magnesium flush. Not sure if that will happen or not. I'm thinking the earliest we will return home is Monday. Keep Kristy and the babies in your prayers. We would like to get back home if possible. If not, we can manage the rest from here at the hospital. Have fun shoveling snow if you live in the Midwest! Jason, Kristy, Collin, Anniston & Bailey
