Bethany and the babies are being monitored 24/7...

Hello everyone! I don't have a lot of information and my facts might be a little scewed because I don't understand all of this but I'll try.

Bethany and the babies are being monitored 24/7. The doctor came in yesterday and talked with her. They said Emma has something called reverse flow in the umbilical chord. These aren't the medical terms but this is what is happening. Emma is getting her oxygen and nutrients - just not gaining weight from what we understand. So they said that they think they will be taking the babies soon and they might have to do an emergency c-section. Bethany told them she would like to make it to 30 weeks next Thursday and the doctor kind of gave her an "I don't think you'll make it that long look". They will be looking for stress on the heart and decrease in activity in Emma. With it being an emergency surgery - she said Mike might not have time to get there because he works 20 minutes away. Hopefully this will not happen - they will also have to put her completely out if this happens.

Please pray for God's perfect timing and His hand to be on those little girls, please pray for peace and trust for Bethany and Mike and great wisdom for the doctors to know when the right time is.

Mike's parents are still bringing the girls back to Illinois on Thursday night and will be there for the weekend and then my mom will be going back down next Tuesday. Bethany and Mike are really missing the girls. Also, Bethany's birthday is on Friday so this will be one she never forgets.

Thank you all for caring so much and for your prayers.

I will keep you updated when I get more news.

Thanks, Alison
