Amnio results are back, and Dr. S says there's only a 5% chance that Baby A will need ventilation once he's born. This is a good sign that the other babies' lungs are also developed enough to function properly outside of the womb. Therefore, in the interest of getting little Baby D out of there before she gets into any trouble, I will be going into surgery tomorrow morning at 8am. That's right, folks: We're having some Christmas Eve quads!
The timing certainly couldn't have worked out better, as my parents flew in yesterday to spend Christmas with me, and my brother and his girlfriend are flying in tonight. I am beyond thrilled that my whole family will be here for the big event! Please pray with us that the babies are born healthy and stable, and also that I come through this riskier-than-usual C-section with no complications so that we can all enjoy our precious time together before my family flies back to Texas at the end of the week. Tomorrow promises to be hectic, but we'll post names, weights, and all that good stuff as soon circumstances allow!
Suzy,
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! You are such a champion!!
We'll be praying for ALL of you tomorrow and beyond. Peace and joy to you and your (entire!) family on this very, very special Christmas.
Oh My STINKIN' WORD! I am STOKED!

Suzy,
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you and Ted! What an amazing Christmas gift for you two! I will be praying for all of you tomorrow! Also, I am sitting here cracking up because my word verification is "unsmoush," like "Having the babies will unsmoush your tummy, and the babies"! OK, I know it's really spelled smoosh, but still, it made me chuckle.:)
Love and prayers,
Marla
AWW! We'll be praying for you and those babies. I only had twins, but you will NEVER forget the sweet relief when they pull those babies out. You won't believe how fast your lungs fill up with O2! :)

Yay, Suzy! Saying extra prayers for you tonight and tomorrow. Just think - you made it within a few short days of where I delivered Addy and you have four of them. What a HUGE accomplishment. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteHooray! My whole family is cheering for you. My little girl was born five years ago tomorrow, and I think Christmas Eve, for all its logistical problems, is the most magical birthday imaginable. Love to you all and good luck. You will seriously feel light as a feather when it's all over!
