Melanie News, Prayers Needed

Melanie is in the hospital. She could not feel the baby move today so we took her in to be checked. While they were monitoring her the babies heartbeat went down to 70, so they are concerned and are keeping her in the hospital until its time for her to have the baby. They are probably going to do an amniocentesis this week to check for the lung development and then they will probably just take the baby if the lungs are sufficient. Melanie and Casi are pretty scared. Please keep them in your prayers. The Power of prayer is amazing and we must never forget that.
Melissa is without electricity from the storm, and probably will be until the end of the week. It's cold up there and things are just not functioning well in the city. Melissa went shopping for some food supplies and the store was dark and cash only. We can still praise God for His mercy that everyone is safe.

I spent the morning working on the day gown for Mei-Ling to come home from the hospital in. All that is left are the button holes and sewing on the tiny buttons. Tonight in the hospital, at Melanies bedside, I worked on the hand stitching parts of the dress, praying with each stitch for a healthy little one, in due time.

Will keep you all posted on how Melanie and Mei-Ling are doing. I will be spending the day at the hospital tomorrow to keep her company and help in any way I can.

The babies day gown almost finished ! glad I have a doll for trying it on for size
