Bed Rest

Good morning to all our friends and family! Just an update on Cassie's pregnancy . . . Cassie went into pre-term labor on Friday (09/05/08) at 32 weeks. The labor was stopped with medicine and she got sent home to be on strict bed rest until Tuesday, Sept 10th when she'll see her OB. A test taken at the hospital (FFN) showed that her body is releasing the protiens that tell the body to get ready for labor and she could go into labor within the next 7 to 14 days. Very scary to say the least. She was given two steriod shots (one Friday and one Saturday) to mature the baby's lungs incase she did go into full blown labor. She has had contractions mainly at night but have been prescribed a pill to take at home to help control them. Chris is being an excellent help with Courtney, washing dishes, cooking and doing laundry. It is so hard for Cassie to sit and do nothing but it is very necessary at this point. We'll keep you all updated as the next few weeks unwrap.
