My first prayer request is for a patient we had last night come up to our L&D, she is 23 weeks pregnant with twins. She came in dilated to 4, having heavy bleeding, and her cervix was thin I really don't see a way she wasn't going to deliver. At 23 weeks it's very unlikely the babies would survive. She's 21 years old, her second pregnancy. Her mom was up there with her because her husband is out of town on business. When I left the EMT had just gotten there to transfer her to the medical center, I'm not sure what happened from there. It's pretty unlikely that they were going to be able to stop her labor and keep her from delivering.

My second prayer request is for me. I'm having my bone pain again, last night at work I was in tears over it and today has been really bad. I woke up several times in some pretty intense pain. I really don't know what to think might be going on but it's very stressing and I'm tired of hurting so much all the time.

My last prayer request is for my family over the next week. Next Saturday is my mom's 50th birthday and my sisters and I are throwing her a party. My grandma and several aunts and an uncle are all traveling to Houston for it, we are all so excited. My prayer request is that everything goes smoothly this week, that I find the money and strength to get everything done without loosing my mind and that everything goes well.

Thanks ladies I really appreciate it!

How sad! :-( I hope for the best for this young mom.

I don't know your situation, but I know how much bone pain hurts, and I'm familiar with chronic pain, so I really feel for you, and hope you feel better soon!!!!

Also hope things go well with the party.

Hang in there!

Will keep all concerned in my prayers. 23 weeks sounds way too early for those babies. Poor girl.

Sorry about the bone pain. Ouch!

I turne 50 in 2010! It's not that far away!

Thank you everyone.

The girl delivered the twins yesterday so they were able to keep them in only a few more days. :-( They are both on vents and VERY premature, they have a LONG road ahead of them and more than likely have permament damage of some sorts. The next couple of weeks are critical.

Thank you all for your prayers.

Continued prayers for the babies.

How are you doing? Prayers you don't get too stressed about the birthday party. Hugs
