She can't get online for a long time, but wanted to let you all know that she is okay for now. Last Tuesday she wasn't feeling well and when her husband came home she decided to monitor. She had 9 contractions in an hour and they sent her to the hospital. When she got there they were irregular but still very often. They gave her two shots of Trebuline, but those didn't help, then they gave her the Magnesium sulfate. The only thing this medicine did for her was to get the contractions regular. They rushed her over to Sacred Heart Hospital where they were monitoring her and the baby. She was dialated to 2-3 and 50% efaced. She is only 31 weeks pregnant, so it is too soon for the baby to come. They have let her come home, but one strict conditions, she has to monitor often, and can not get out of bed except to go to the bathroom. So far its only been one day and she is doing well, but keep your fingers crossed that she doesn't have any other contractions like that. We want this baby to stay in at least til 34 weeks, or at least that is what the doctors are hoping for. Thank you

Please let Leigh know we are with her in thought, and are very concerned. We are all pulling for her and the baby..You tell her to stay in that bed, or we are going to come there, and keep her in that bed. Best of luck to all of you, Syyd

As Alpha said above our prayers go out to her and the baby.
