Prayers Needed

Here's the short version - PRAY for amniotic fluid to be in Bri's womb, to safely surround the baby.

Long version.....

Bri called the doctor this morning with concern because she's felt like she was leaking (for lack of a better term) fluid and from what she was able to tell it seemed it could be amniotic fluid. They had her go to labor and delivery to be checked by her doctor. It was amniotic fluid and so they checked on baby. His fluid level is low which is a concern. Basically with out the fluid there are the obvious problems like the cushion protecting him but also the concern in lung development for him.  The doctor has been wonderful and is not recommending cutting the cerclage and letting things run their course but is ready to fight for this baby to have a long life.  Bri's cervix is closed and thick which is a praise! Bri will stay over night tonight for monitoring then be put on strict bed rest to make it to our first goal of 24 weeks. They are putting Bri and Johnny in touch with a maternal fetal specialist at Scott and White to start a relationship. Bri's current doctor will be her care giver until 24 weeks then they will take over. This is most definitely a BUT GOD story. He's made many promises and even given dreams for this baby's life. Please join us in praying!.....

Lord Jesus we thank you for your Word. That You are with the Wachsmanns, thank you for life. May you inhibit the praises of your people. Lord we pray you would fill Bri's womb with amniotic fluid, support baby's lung development.  Lord we ask for goal one of 24 weeks and beyond because You are able. You who are in her is able and we pray for your love, support and healing.  Let us see a miracle come morning. Lord float her way past these 8 weeks.  Father protect their family and let them feel Your presence with them.  May Johnny, Bri and the boys have your peace that surpasses understanding.  In Jesus name, Amen

Practicals - they are asking for guests to be limited because she is susceptible to infection.  However we are working on putting together ways to help, I will post more on that tomorrow.
