Things aren't slowing down yet...baby coming soon!

Dear Friends,

I just pulled in the driveway from Minneapolis after a very successful pacemaker surgery. Miraculously, she did not need the lower lead (wire) changed. For four years technicians complained but it tested perfect in the office on Wednesday and directly on Thursday during the surgery so the procedure itself was very minor. There is a bit of pain and always the possibility of infection but it was a very simple procedure compared to a bit more delicate if they had needed the change.

Okay, baby stuff. Things still look good with Jennifer and Sophia, however, the doctor still wants to deliver early by C-section THIS MONDAY MORNING AT 7:15 AM. Low fluid is the main concern again with the AFI's coming in around 3 or 4 but the biophysical profile and the doppler cord have all been excellent. I don't know exactly what to say about this whole thing but will reserve my judgment until after speaking with the doctor. But, unless things change it looks like Monday morning it is.

Keep this in prayer that the baby is strong, healthy with good lung development.

Sincerely,

Dave
