I just received news that a friend of mine who is pregnant with triplets started having pregnancy complications over the weekend. Can you please join me to pray for Jennifer, her husband and their triplets? I am very saddened that they are going through this but I know our God is a God of miracles of healing. This is an email I just received from Jennifer's husband:
I am Jennifer's husband. She wanted me to write to you and let you know what was going on.
Last Friday, she had some bleeding and had to go in to the hospital. She was kept overnight for observation, but the doctor's couldn't find the source of the bleeding so they sent her home on Saturday. Monday night, July 3rd, she started leaking fluid, so we went back to the hospital. They did some tests but could not confirm whether it was amniotic fluid. We spent the Fourth of July in the hosptial waiting for her high risk OB to come back from vacation, and she kept losing blood and fluid in the meantime. This morning, we had an ultrasound which showed low but adequate fluid levels around each of the three babies. The doctor told us he had no optimism that Jennifer could continue this pregnancy, and told us we could either end it now, which is not an option for us, or risk having premature babies born at 24-25 weeks. He told us that in the later case, they have only a 30-50% chance of survival and would likely suffer from problems related to premature birth.
We started calling our friends and family from the hosptial, as well as our churches, and asked people to pray for Jennifer and the babies. This afternoon, Jennifer's bleeding stopped and she has also stopped leaking fluid. When the doctor spoke with her this afternoon, it sounded like he changed his mind because he now says that he is optimistic. We have another ultrasound scheduled for Saturday, and hopefully if there is no more bleeding and fluid loss, the levels of fluid in the amniotic sacs will look better. If so, he is now saying that there is even a chance that she could come home on strict bed rest.
I know that you and Jennifer have become friends, and we have been praying for Isaac. We also had our group at church praying for Isaac, and you may rest assured that we will continue to pray for him. I'm sure Jennifer would appreciate it if you could find time to pray for our three children as well. Your story has already been a great inspiration to us and serves as a reminder that miracles can come true.
Thank you very much for your prayers for this family.
