Timothy James

I was admitted to the hospital on Dec. 8th because my amniotic sac was leaking and I had begun to dilate. I was ordered to lie flat on my back until the baby came ( I was due April 2nd!). Well, on Dec. 17th my water broke at 7:15pm and Timothy James decided to come early. He was breech and already on his way out, so the doctor did an emergency C-section and at 10:20 pm he was delivered. He went straight to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and has been there ever since. Timothy was only 25 weeks along in his development (a "normal" pregnancy lasts 40 weeks) so he still has a lot of growing to do.

Quick Update: Timothy is back in the hospital. He was admitted to the Loma Linda Pediatric Intensive Care Unit last night. He is breathing with the help of a ventilator and he is being treated for a bacterial blood infection; however, he had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic that he was given.

Prayer
-Wisdom for the doctors in finding the right anitbiotic
-Healing from the infection
-Strength for Timothy as he fights the infection
-Strength and peace for Mommy and Daddy (and rest)
