My husband, John, just called me.
His kid sister, Claire, who just turned 14 last week, is in the hospital. He wasn't clear if she had mono or meningitis -- I just called her Mom and got her voicemail so I'll have to wait for her to call me back to find out.
His adult sister, Mary, is also in the hospital. She's pregnant and they are going to keep her on bed rest for 10 days and then take the baby via C Section. The baby will only be about 1 or 1.5 lbs and will have to be in neonatal intensive care in a simulated womb environment for the rest of the gestational period. I think she's 6 or 7 months along right now.
Mary has a 6 year old. In between, she lost 3 or 4 pregnancies. They tried IVF one more time and this one took. But it appears she's having some difficulties now.
Please remember them and Mary's husband Eric in your prayers. Thanks!
