Quick Update

I just got off the phone with Lana. I don’t want anyone to get too hysterical but we’d definitely appreciate your prayer.

As Lana mentioned previously, the doctors have been a bit concerned about her lifting Carmen during her pregnancy. She went in for another ultrasound this afternoon and they want to do some additional tests because it looks as though things are less than ideal. That’s about all the detail I have for you right now.

Again, please don’t get too excited! Everything may be just fine. And even if it’s not just fine, we know that God is more than able to get us through whatever the future may hold.

But please do pray. Thanks!

    “Dear Jesus, Please be with Lana and the beautiful little baby she carries. Continue to keep it safe Lord, until the day when it is born into this world to a family waiting with huge expectation. In Your Precious Name. AMEN.”

    Praise God! Praise His Beautiful Name. Calling for Help, YHWH. More time, more security, peace, and You for just a time as this. In Your Name, Jesus.

    We are all standing in the gap for you, Dave, Lana, Sweet Baby. We stand shoulder to shoulder in prayer and strength.

    Praying also for traveling mercies for Dave’s parents as they go to Dave and Lana. Please keep them all safe and protected in Your arms, YHWH. Keep Your hands on theirs and Your eyes to see the road. We ask that their path be straight and Your hedge of protection surround them. In Jesus’ Name we seek help. Hallelujah!

    Sending lots of prayers your way!!!

  12. Danielle October 14, 2009 at 7:23 pm #

    Absolutely. And as a doctor, I know that we are overly cautious most all of the time. Cautious is good. Sending love

    Thinking about you and hoping everything is okay.

    How about if I post an update?? Dave’s boss sent him home – they were able to get him on a plane and he has already landed. (Dave was in North Carolina) He called when he landed and said Lana is going home tonight. She will be on medication – – to stop the contractions (that is my guess). It looks like she will be going on bed rest. Please pray that they are able to cover all bases – - i.e. caring for Carmen and Lauren and keeping things going. I will leave it up to Dave to keep the updates coming.

    Thank you, Betty, for being the first person I knew I could call to pray!! You are such a dear sister and special friend.

    Thank you, Aunt Ruthanne, for dropping everything to come stay with the dogs so we could leave. (We are putting our travel on hold since David was able to make it home tonight.)

    Thank you, Jesus, for loving our children and grandchildren more than we do. We trust you, Lord, for whatever comes our way. We are expecting this new little girl to be special and a gift from you. Both our girls (Lana and baby) are in your care. Amen

      Juliana, sorry that I just got around to watching these videos. I’m just catching up on a few things.

      I must say that I’m super impressed! You did a great job with your editing and have a natural talent! Watching your video made me HUNGRY for pizza, especially the one being made at around the 10 minute mark. What’s it called, “comer Juliet”? I don’t speak Portuguese, just enough Spanish to be dangerous. Ha!

      Nice job! I can see why you got a good grade.

    Praying for all of you.

    Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. You are amazing!

    Lana is home so obviously the doctor thinks she is at least sort of OK. She is on meds to stop the contractions and will be on bed rest for at least the next 4-5 weeks.

    It’s been quite a day so I’m off to bed.

    God is good.

    Hi Lana, Please do what you are told, I know you don’t want to just lay around but you and your baby need it. I will be praying. God bless. In Christ, Joe

  20. debbie October 15, 2009 at 10:56 am #

    Oh Lana.
    I am praying for you and your sweet baby girl. Have you heard the outcome of the meeting about addtional care for Carmen? I know you need it more now than ever.
    My girls and I will say a special prayer for you all tonight. You are in my thoughts today.
    Debbie

    Lana, as Joe said, please take care of you – all of your children need you to – including the baby. I am praying for each family member and that God works out all the details. Lana and Dave, rest in the arms of the One who has held you all along.
    Love and hugs,
    Valerie

    Lana, Please take care of yourself right now. I know it’s hard. Maybe giving this new information to the department deciding nursing hours would be helpful. Now, it’s an emergency! So thankful that you have so many wonderful friends and family to help you. May the Lord bless you. nan
