Thank you to all of you that have been praying and for those that commented. It's so encouraging when going thru difficult times to know that others are praying. It's been quite the rollercoaster of emotions for the last 48 hours and Texas has never seemed so far away.
When Jody was admitted to the hospital Monday night, the goal was to stop the contractions since she was only 34 weeks along. However after 24 hours there and several attempts using different medications, the contractions were still going strong. When an ultrasound on Tuesday revealed that the baby was breach, the doctor transferred her by ambulance to a hospital in San Antonio where the baby would have to be transferred to in order to be in the NICU anyway. That way if she needed to have a C-section she would at least be in the same hospital.
This morning the doctors there told her that she would most likely be having a C-section sometime soon.....but by noon they decided on one last try using medication thru her IV to stop the contractions. Praise the Lord the medication took effect and the contractions finally stopped this afternoon(they had been very strong and kept up their intensity since Monday evening) Tonight she is resting while they try the same medication in pill form with the hope that she could be discharged to allow the baby to grow a bit more before birth.
Thanks for all your prayers and please keep praying....the goal is to make it to 37 weeks with the hope that the baby might turn on his/her own. And tonight...well we are resting a bit easier and are very thankful that God is still in control! and for tonight, Baby Miles is still safe and sound and growing inside!

Praise God!! We definitely know what it is like to receive endless prayer while in the hospital. We truly appreciated it as we know it was the only thing that kept us at peace. Please know we are praying for you all at this time.
