Prayers for my niece ***UPDATE***

[Donnaj4962]

My niece (in-law) and my nephew are expecting a set of twins, and she is having some troubles with the pregnancy. She is about 27 weeks, has gestational diabetes, and was in the hospital Tuesday night with extremely high blood pressure. She is now home, and on bed rest, and they are going to do a c-section on May 23. They want the babies' lungs to be as developed as possible, but they need to get them out due to health issues for my niece, Tamara.

This will be the 4th set of twins in our immediate family. Daddy is an identical twin. Travis and Tamara have been waiting a long time to be parents, and they will be great! We just want everyone to be healthy.

Another niece (in-law) Trina and my nephew Jason just lost their baby last weekend at 20 weeks. So we are feeling very vulnerable right now.

Could you please take a moment to send some prayers and good thoughts to Indiana? I would appreciate it! I know PT prayers do wonders! Thank you.

Prayers and best wishes for two healthy babies. Please give us a report on how mother and babies are doing when things are settled.

Donna: Forgive me. I don't know how I missed this.

Gini has just gone through something similar (minus the twins) and now here you are asking for prayers for your niece. Please know that she and the babies will be in my prayers tonight.

Please keep us posted, OK?

Hi, this is Gini. I just popped online to see what is going on and saw this thread.

I cannot believe that you are repeating the exact words that I was posting on a thread asking for prayers for my own niece.

I know that they gave my niece steroids to assist in the development of the babie's lungs - and it worked.

My niece has also had a C section and the baby is doing very well and nursing.

You can count on my immediate prayers, because I feel your worries so well, too well in fact.

Please keep us posted and I will check back often to see how everyone is doing.

Prayers for your neice and the twins.

Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. No changes as yet. She is at home and following the doctor's orders to stay in bed. She and my nephew live about 2 1/2 hours from me, and I was down there (Lafayette) last weekend, so I will not be able to go again this weekend. I will wait until the babies and mommy are home to see them.

I appreciate all of your thoughts, as I know what PT prayers and well wishes can do! I know that others have been through this before. Thanks again. Donna

Prayers to your niece and her babies, and for the loss of your nephew's baby. What a scary time.

Prayers from your western neighbor on the way! Is your niece getting steroids for the babies' lungs?

[sandragonfly]

wow, this is something. extra prayers chimin' on way to indiana from one big magical ark! (no kidding). here, ((((donna))))

it must be painful for them, especially knowing another little family had lost one recently too. I pray your niece will be and those two blessings come out allright! I'd like to know as soon as you hear.

as being oldest, I was third (first) baby survived and I still wonder what's the reason to live. so I'm sure those two babies will be blessed either way. I don't mean drag other (dark) side in but what if they're not developing properly, meant to die sooner? less pain for parents, perhaps.

hope they're still hanging in there - know I'll be thinking of you all, dear.

Gina, I just have to say this. If I were in Donna's shoes, I would not appreciate a comment like this. Here she is asking for prayers for two healthy babies and you bring this up. It is very insensitive as far as I'm concerned.

What if Crayola was really sick and needed an operation and someone posted....gee, he might die on the operating table. How would you feel??

Let's show a little compassion for Donna and her niece. Just my opinion.

[sandragonfly]

sigh. see "bless either way" & question mark? for those who can't tell who I am - I seem never say good in words. if it wasn't my intent to, I would never know I offended. but because I think donna knows what I mean, I implied. and for crayola, I'll understand.

donna, if I did, I'm truly very sorry. like I said, I meant to look at both sides than nothing, less grieving - just wishing, hope for the best still.

forgive me.

[gini]

Gina, what Donna requested were prayers for LIFE - HEALTH! And that is what she will receive from me.

After having spent the last week worrying over my niece who is still in the hospital after having given birth to a perfectly healthy baby boy.....I find this very insensitive as well.

Oh heavens, I am sure you meant nothing by this - but it is like asking "well, are you going to lose that leg or what?" "Maybe it would be better for you if you lost it."

[shais_mom]

Donna you have my most sincere prayers for healing for both the broken hearted and worried hearted. Hugs to all around.

Gina - I am truly speechless. While I think your intentions were good some things are better left unsaid. If you would have said this to me if I had lost a baby or when my grandparents died I... I.... devastated to say the very least.

(((Donna, Tamara, Travis, Baby Twins, Trina, Jason & Baby Angel)))

You ALL will remain in my prayers for healing, happiness, health and only good things in the future.

I'm so sorry for Trina and Jason's loss, I hope that time will heal their saddness and that whatever they want out of life, be it their own child physically or a child from adoption, will be theirs very soon. BIG HUGS to them.

My prayers go out to Tamera, Travis and the Twins that are still "cooking". I hope their little lungs develop nice and strong and healthy baby cries are heard throughout their home when the time is right for those little ones to grace this world.

Lots of hugs and love for you all,
Kelly
