Wednesday - baby a status

I don't have good news but had a short second to update. During Bianca's settling in here she was being cleaned up and it was found that the umbilical cord of baby a was protruding out. The cord prolapse (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbilical_cord_prolapse)
Essentially is one of the worst things that could have happened. Baby A's feet are out now and the cord is pinched essentially eliminating blood and oxygen. The doctors and nurses have come in and there is nothing left that can be done. Baby A's heart is slowing though the contractions have some what slowed down. The high risk specialist has advised all doctors involved to let Bianca continue delivering naturally as in these cases an emergency c section is performed but as that would put baby b at such a horrible risk all we can do is let things continue. Bianca is holding on as best as she can and we are just trying to keep it together. Ill update when I know more.

    Do not give up hope! There are Christians around the globe praying for you and your little ones! Psalm 91 says:

    Psalm 91


    1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
    will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
    2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
    my God, in whom I trust.”


    3 Surely he will save you
    from the fowler’s snare
    and from the deadly pestilence.
    4 He will cover you with his feathers,
    and under his wings you will find refuge;
    his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
    5 You will not fear the terror of night,
    nor the arrow that flies by day,
    6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
    nor the plague that destroys at midday.
    7 A thousand may fall at your side,
    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.
    8 You will only observe with your eyes
    and see the punishment of the wicked.


    9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
    and you make the Most High your dwelling,
    10 no harm will overtake you,
    no disaster will come near your tent.
    11 For he will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways;
    12 they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
    13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
    you will trample the great lion and the serpent.


    14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
    I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
    15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble,
    I will deliver him and honor him.
    16 With long life I will satisfy him
    and show him my salvation.”

    Remember that twins also develop two weeks faster than single babies so they are already biologically 24 weeks....all things are possible with God! You are in our prayers continually! With much love to your family....Sarah and Erik Griego

  6. My heart aches for you both. I know this is exactly what you were hoping to delay. We are sending our faith and prayers that you will be able to spend some quality time with your sweet one tonight and that hopefully baby B can stay safely inside. Call Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep if you can so that no matter, you will always have quality photographs of your little one. We will continue to check in and hope for peace.
