Hi, Kasondra. You'll definitely be in my prayers. I'm glad they're now able to give mothers something to help mature the baby's lungs if there is a possibility that the baby could have to come early. I know when my little brother was born 11 years ago, they didn't have anything like that and a medication had just been developed that would help mature the lungs after birth. My little brother would have died without that medication, and he was one of the first babies to have it, so he was a poster child for the March of Dimes. I really have a lot of respect for those kinds of organizations. I always have, but especially now, after what happened with my brother. Anyway, you'll definitely be in my prayers. I hope you can carry the baby to term, but if it has to come early, I pray the baby is healthy. Take care.

I was given a steroid shot on Thursday to mature the baby's lungs. I went home and had such trouble walking that I went back to the hospital the next morning. I had to cancel out of my role as an angel in the church Christmas program Friday night. I was only in the hospital for a few hours. My doctor told me the dizziness would wear off, and I should not exert myself this weekend. The dizziness wore off enough for me to go shopping yesterday, but last night I couldn't sleep and I was congested. So instead of being in church, I am home reading and writing. The baby looks fine so far, and all my blood work is normal. The only other thing I have to deal with is a bladder infection. They gave me antibiotics, and I should be fine by Christmas. So far, everything looks fine. Thank you for your concern. If you are so inclined, please pray for my continued safety. You guys are great! We have not changed our plans for Christmas. We are still going to Idaho, to be with Shawn's family. That will be a nice break because the grandparents will pay attention to my boys. Thank you all!
