Will do. She's in good hands, but has had a very frustrating pregnancy, with other complications earlier on (low fluid, etc).

 
Prayers for my boss' daughter and future grandson. Her water broke two months ahead of schedule. I believe they're going to try to keep her hospitalized to prevent infection and prolong the pregnancy three weeks until they're comfortable enough with lung development.
Praying! My little sister has gone through similar, with three miscarriages and one stillbirth. Last pregnancy her baby was born at 26 weeks (last May) and baby is doing very good. Some advice, if your not in an medically advanced area, and baby comes early, request to be transferred. Saved my nieces life when she was lifeflighted to Houston.

 
Thankfully she's in a good hospital in a large metropolitan area. Can't get much better within a 3-4 hour drive (Duke is arguably the only better medical center in the state).

Supe, We went through the same thing. Our son was born 8+ weeks early. It was 6 weeks in the NICU and lots of delays. Five years later he is nearly caught up. You can PM me if your boss has any questions regarding what to expect.

P-E.

 
Thanks, all. She posted up again. They said the heart already sounds fully developed, and if they can make it at least one week and get the baby to 4 lbs, it cuts the risk substantially, so they're hoping to at least get to that point. She seems to be doing well, just bummed that she can't see much of her 5 year old until after the birth.

 
My day started out with my youngest waking me up to tell me my oldest was crying and covered in blood!

Yes, sorry was a crazy day. This is my autistic daughter, who didn't speak until she was 5. After cleaning her up, we found out it was a nosebleed. But sure was a heck of a way to wake up.

I didn't know nosebleeds bled that much! And, no, I've never had one.

 
Mini-ram had his first serious boo boo today. Managed to pull a glass from the table when no one was watching and then tried to pick up the broken pieces. Washed and bandaged but he keeps trying to pull the bandage off.

Also realized that I need to purchase kiddy bandages...

negative. Just use duct tape.

Seriously though, I hope he's OK.

Awwww poor kid! Hope he heals soon and stops pulling bandages off.

 
Thanks guys. He's gotten over his obsession with pulling the bandage off. Was a bit awful seeing him run up to me/wife going owie.
