Please, prayers for my niece

[gini]

I rarely request prayers on Pet Talk but since they work so well, I decided to come here and request your prayers.

I have a niece that is very near and dear to my heart. She is pregnant and in her 34th week. She is a type 1 diabetic and they have been monitoring her closely. Two weeks ago she developed pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure) and they immediately put her in the hospital for complete bed rest.

Now her protein levels are off the charts - and today they told her that they would induce labor - and for her to count on a 72 hour labor. Naturally she is scared - there are so many things for them to monitor. The baby will be six weeks early - and we are just praying that his lungs have developed enough.

Please, I ask for your prayers that she and her baby son will be just fine.

Thank you!!

Many prayers for your neice and her son. And a little optimism too........all will be fine, trust me.

Prayers on their way. I was 5 1/2 weeks early, and my older siblings were even earlier, so tell her there's plenty of hope for a good, healthy baby.

Well, I see that Phred has got the Prayer Line open so I just know that another miracle is about to happen. She and her son are in good hands.

You know that I've been talking to God about this every day and I truly wonder if He is getting sick of hearing from me. I can just hear Him saying "All right already, I got it. No problemo. It's taken care of....healthy baby boy on the way."

Of course, Gini. I bet there will be prayers for her at all hours of the day and night (knowing this group).

[Catty1]

Prayers are being sent.

I also thought of this saying, which I like: "I might as well give my problems to God - He's gonna be up all night anyway."

HUGS!

Gini,
I will say extra prayers tonight for your beloved niece. My wife had labor induced with our two girls and it was all rather quick (less than 8 hours) - but it may be very different because her baby is so premature. They may actually want to control it and extend it to 72 hours. Oh.. I hope and pray it all goes well for your niece and baby!!!

Lots of prayers on the way!

All of your kind thoughts, assurances and prayers mean more to me than I can begin to tell you.

Thank you. I will share the good news when it arrives.
