Week 3 Overnight Update from hospital (July 28th)

Dear lovely friends and family,

We wanted to update you on our status. After the magnesium treatment, my contractions were still coming pretty strong and the doctor decided to put me on another drug called indocin. These two drugs together did slow the contractions down but in the middle of the night i woke up to a contraction and then felt Pedro's water break. this morning we discovered he was back in his original position, this time with his hand not his foot sticking out (new nickname Manuel?)

This puts us in a whole different picture. They expect me to deliver Pedro in the next 3 days. There is a 10% chance that this won't happen and I could hold on longer. Then there is the question of what my body does with Archer whose membrane is still intact. It could hold on after pedro's delivery or it could go on and deliver him as well. Again, they are giving us a 10% chance that we could hold on to Archer through viability. We are struggling to get on top of our new situation and prepare ourselves to whatever is to come. We appreciate the huge outpouring of love that you have given us through this whole process and we know that you will continue keeping us in your thoughts.

We will definitely keep you appraised of whatever happens next.

Love,

Lisa, Bruno, Pedro, Archer, plus Cedric and Ursula
