The situation with Stephanie & the twins

Since Monday night, she has been in the hospital because her water broke. She went to a business meeting and was getting ready to leave after going to the bathroom and realized her water had broken. She is at about 32 weeks into the pregnancy. The doctors have prescribed a course of medications to help with the contractions, infection, and medicines for the babies. They are giving her magnesium sulfate as a muscle relaxant to keep her from going into labor. This medicine has seemed to have helped. They are also giving her antibiotics to guard against infection and a steroid treatment to help the babies lungs develop. The goal is to "buy" some time to keep the babies in the womb another 10 - 12 days to at least 34 weeks. The doctors did a sonogram and both girls are about 4 lbs, so they are gaining weight well and are doing okay. Stephanie will be in the hospital and on bed rest until the birth of the girls. We appreciate the thoughts and prayers during this time. I shall continue to update everyone as I learn what happens.
