Good News Bad News

Alissa has been in the hospital for eight days now and everything looks great for Emma. She continues to have a strong heartbeat and there have been no changes in the bloodflow during the ultrasounds. As a result we just keep pushing along. Yesterday our doctor came in to check up on us and he said that if everything continues to look good and if Emma begins to grow more, we could let her stay in the womb until 36 weeks. This is great news for Emma if it pans out. It is rough on Alissa though. That would mean another six weeks in the hospital. She will be happy if Emma can stay inside her that long, but it has been hard enough being in the hospital for just a week. Obviously, we want what's best for Emma. And we have had so many different scenarios thrown at us that we don't know what to think. For now we just take it day by day and see what God has in store for us. Please continue to pray for Emma's growth and health. Also pray for Alissa's sanity as she is cooped up in a hospital room indefinitely.
