Defying All Odds

Hello everyone,

I apologize for not writing sooner, but things have been getting crazy. The baby showers are over and most of the nursery is done and thank God because a few days ago, Cathi was placed on permanent hospital bed rest...Once in the hospital, one of the babies' sacs started to come through her cervix and an emergency surgery had to be performed to save the babies...

During the surgery, Raiden's (triplet A) sac burst open, which helped slightly by creating more room in the Uterus...Raiden is okay and so are the other two babies...

The surgery was successful and Cathi and I are now at the hospital taking day by day...Multiple drug injections and IV drips have helped calm the contractions and Cathi is doing great so far...There was a risk of infection due to the burst sac; however, with anti-biotics and constant rest, Cathi is not experiencing any signs of infection...Please keep us in your prayers as we hope Cathi can maintain for a few more months and deliver strong healthy babies...

Cathi is 22 weeks tomorrow; we are trying at a minimum to get to 28 weeks before delivery although we know they can deliver at 24...Cathi has been amazing through this experience and continues to defy the odds...

I've been checking your blog and noticed it hadn't been updated so I thought you might be in the hospital. Hang in there. You'll be fine. Thank goodness you are in a hospital. They will monitor you and the babies closely. I recently spotted and will be 20 weeks this Sunday. One of the things I had to do was remain calm and trust in God. All looks fine, but I personally know how crazy your mind can get. 22 weeks is getting closer. Keep telling yourself and the babies that you want to hold out a little longer. Talk to your babies. I strongly believe it will give you strength as you continue to a safer week.
