Saturday E mail

Hey there,

I’m sitting in Labor & Delivery at Community Hospital with a peaceful and resting Jennifer. We met with Dr. Hajovsky (Hi-Off-Skee) last night who said that we’ll be delivering the baby most likely today at around 5pm. Nothing is certain, but that is what it looks like.

Jennifer has been diagnosed with HELLP syndrome which stands for Hemolysis, Elevated Liver Enzymes, and Low Platelet count. http://www.aafp.org/afp/990901ap/829.html She has stabilized and her BP is now much better, her liver enzymes are lower, and her platelet count is much higher.

Jennifer has been given a shot of steroids (Celestone) to prepare the baby (her lungs) for early delivery. The baby is 29 weeks old and we are believing God for a miraculous and safe delivery. She will be in the NICU for a time and pray she will be home very soon.

We appreciate your prayers and will keep you posted.

Take care,

James
