Heather Update

Heather saw the Maternal-Fetal specialist this Monday. The news was a little bit alarming. Her cervix shortened by 3.5 cms. That isn't good. I feel so sorry for Heather, bless her heart. The doctor put her on procardia to keep her from going in to labor. This is a medication that is usually used for cardiac issues. It makes Heather feel dizzy and tired. She is also on progesterone to maintain the pregnancy. And, finally, the doctor is going to put her on steroids to help the baby's lungs develop. She is now at 28 weeks and 2 days. She delivered Silas at 28 weeks, 4 days. We are all trying to give her as much encouragement as we can. I can see in her eyes that she is scared and I wish so much that I could take that fear away. Please keep Heather and the baby in your prayers.
