I just received the following update from Jennifer's husband. Please continue to pray for them - please pray for the babies to stay inside Jennifer with reaccumulated fluids as long as possible. Thank you very much.

Dear Sonia,
Things seem to have taken a turn for the worse. This afternoon the bleeding and leaking started again. Jennifer says the bleeding wasn't as bad, and after I got to the hospital, the leaking grew less and less, but still hasn't quite gone away. Also, she still has bleeding but it seems to be brown (old blood), so we're still hoping for a miracle. Since she seems to do better with me around, I'm going to take some more time off work and will try to spend the weekend at the hospital if they will let me.
Unfortunately, Jennifer is only 20 weeks, 3 days right now. If the bleeding stops and the fluid levels in the sacs replenish themselves by the next ultrasound on Saturday, then the doctor says she has a chance of carrying the pregnancy another four or five weeks, at which point they may be able to save the babies.
The good news is that Jennifer isn't in any pain. No contractions as far as we can tell, no abdominal cramps, and the doctors say there isn't a membrane rupture, but probably there is a slow leak. Also, she can feel all of the babies moving (I was able to feel them kicking today), and they continue to have strong heartbeats.
I told Jennifer that Isaac was off of his respirator and she was so happy she started crying.
I don't know when we'll be able to get another message to you since I'll be at the hospital without internet access this weekend, but please continue to pray for us
