Lana is back at the hospital. This time, she was admitted. We’re hoping that it’s just overnight but are expecting it to be longer.
In short, we went in for her follow-up doctor appointment early this afternoon. Apparently, a week of strict bed rest didn’t quite do the trick. Upon examination, the doctors found that Lana is 1 cm dilated. She’s in the hospital now. They are giving her additional medication to try to stop the contractions and are also giving her steroids that will increase Baby Hope’s lung capacity in the event of a delivery in the near-term.
I’ll head back to the hospital tonight, after the night nurse arrives to take care of Carmen and after Lauren is asleep (kids aren’t allowed at the hospital due to rampant swine flu). I’m going to add a Twitter feed on the right side of the web page to post short updates. Look at the “Twitter Feed” section.
Appreciate the prayers!
I will continue to think good positive thoughts for Lana, baby Hope and your whole family.
