Well, once again, I am reaching out to family and friends for Prayer. Britta went into premature labor on Monday night. She is due in August with identical twin boys. She was contracting about every 2-3 minutes. They were sure she would deliver yesterday, but God kept those little guys in there.This morning a nurse accidently gave Britta a huge dose of her heart medicine. (It helps to slow her heart rate) Once they discovered it, they quickly got her up to the CICU(cardiac). They had to put in a line from her neck to her artery so that if her heart slowed down too much they could resusitate her and put in a pacemaker type device. She had about 6 Dr's working on her all at once...between, toxology, cardiac & crisis pregnancy. They brought up the equipment needed for a delivery too just in case they would need to deliver the babies. It was overwhelming to Britta. She was a real trouper though. Chris helped her along every step of the way. My cousin Cindie was a God-send helping out also. She stayed with Britta overnight the first night and then went and helped out by picking up my father from his dialysis. (his first day there) Having the overdose heart medicine was a blessing in disguise. It actually did nothing to Britta or the Babies hearts, but actually stopped the contractions. Praise the Lord! Now the drug is wearing off and the contractions are coming back. Pray that she can keep these boys in her at least until Friday when she is 30 weeks. The crisis pregnancy Dr. and nurse told me that they've given her a steroid to mature the lungs. I guess tonight at 11p is when she is done with the "window" which I think means the babies have a greater chance of survival should they be born. Please pray for her and the babies. - Mel (6/2)
I have a friend I went to highschool with and she just told me that she has lung cancer. .. Please pray for her and also for her salvation as I am pretty sure she does not know the Lord. Jeanne has agreed to let me request prayer for her with my Bible Study group. - Bonnie (6/3)
I've been sick for the past few days and finally went to the Dr. It looks like I have walking pneumonia. Bummer! I would appreciate any prayers for healing that I could get. Thanks! - Judy (6/3)
(-6/9 Update: I went to ER today. I wasn't breathing very well. Pnuemonia, bronchitis, pleursy, and I forget the other things they said. The dr gave me steriods, antibiotics and a bunch of other stuff. I'm on bed rest for the next 4 to 5 days. Not fun, but hopefully I'll heal now.)
I wanted to let you know Steve’s dad’s health is really failing and the hospice nurse told the family his body has begun to shut down and expects he only has a day or two left ... - Kathy C (6/7)
Just wanted to thank everyone for their prayers on my husbands behalf. His surgery went good and he starts physical therapy on Monday. - Peggy (6/4)
