LOT'S OF GOOD NEWS

I have been busy so doing both a man's and a woman's house work, grocery shopping, cleaning house (just a little), fixing meals, and so on. I think that Sharon is impressed with my meal preparation capabilities, hey I can even fry an egg without breaking the yolk. I just find that there aren't enough hours in the day to do all that needs to be done. Makes one really appreciate your life partner, in my case, my best friend. Sharon is doing well in her recovery. We went to the Dr on Wed for her first post-op visit. Two of her three drain tubes have been removed, and the Dr wants to discuss the next surgery during her appointment next week. She gets better every day, although she wears out rather quickly. Keeping her down is getting harder and harder.

Christy and Steve are also making good progress in their family creation experience. Steve has taken the week off from work and spends every day in the hosp with Christy. She is doing well. No contractions to speak of. Her Drs and nurses are very positive and assure Christy that they will get her to week 30, at minimum. All that is helping Christy stay positive. She has great nurses, several of them who are Christian, and one who went to the same high school (Canyon) as Christy, and also attended Eastside Christian Church, where our family went during the kids early years. Today's examination includes measuring the babies, so in the next blog I should have more baby information for you. Sunday will be the day Christy completes her 24th week of pregnancy, which technically means the babies could survive outside the womb. Christy is planning a little celebration. We see this as the turning point in the pregnancy, the apex if you will, and look forward to every day and week hereafer, as that means better survival chances for the babies. Christy does have her laptop in the hosp, so any of you who feel up to writing her a note, please do so, it will give her something to do in those hours when Steve or other visitors are not there. God Bless, keep those prayers coming. Bernd
