And as of right now things are going between stable and not so stable. The drs are very concerned and are doing everything that they can to get my dds blood pressure to drop, and to stop the protein from spilling into her urine etc, but seems that they are not winning this battle. There is risk not only to the baby but also to my dd, so they are doing all they can but they said that they do not want to risk my daughters life so if things do get worse the baby will have to be delivered. The baby is only 26 weeks and so the chances of survival are not the best, but seems that at the moment her heart rate shows her to be pretty healthy. Nikki has been given medicine to increase the development of the babies lungs, and the drs asked us to pray and hope that we can keep the baby in her tummy for a week or even better 2 as the chances of survival are much greater, and then we will hope to see baby get to 30 weeks and then after that anything is a blessing.

I wish I had more to say, but at this moment no news is good news.

I am so worried and drained as the last 3 days I have had not much more than a couple hours sleep and well as you can imagine the stress of this all is kinda wearing.

I will try to get on here tomorrow and let you all know if I hear anything new.

I think I will even shoot to make chat tomorrow morning.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and stuff... I know it helps!

Love you guys! Lor

Thank you all so very much for all your thoughts and prayers..

I can not tell you what this means to us all.

I have not heard back form the hospital today as to how Nikki

and baby are doing. I will have to keep the lines open for most the day

incase they are trying to call me.

Nikki has been moved to a private room but will continue to

be between her room and the acute care room downstairs.



I will let you all know of any changes as they happen and stuff,

but in the mean time I am going to take all the prayers that are offered

for the kids.

Hugs and thank you all so very very much!!!

hugs, Lor

Lori, thankyou for the update. I'm so glad that your dd is holding her own.I will keep her in my prayers and you too. Try to get some rest even though I know it's hard. With all the new technology they can do remarkable things these days. Let's not forget the power of this group with our prayers and caring for each other and their families. Big Hugs! Debby

Lori, I feel so bad for you and can only guess how you're suffering through all this worry about Nikki and your unborn grandchild. Miracles are taking place all the time, whether from luck, prayers, positive energy and/or technology. Try to get some rest even if you have to have your dh knock you out with a hammer. You're not going to be a strong shoulder for Nikki if you're rummy from lack of rest. Thanks for keeping us informed. We're all there with you. ((((firm embrace)))) Kay

I'm so glad to hear from you, I have been so worried. I'll pray that they both make it past 30 weeks. It's hard to know the right words to say so just know our love goes with you.

Love ya,
