Two babies...

[SabreSteve]

Hey guys,
Know I haven't been around on here for a bit. Things have been crazy. Wife lost her job, my job has been crazy. Then my wife has been in the hospital the past couple weeks with multiple issues that seem to all be either a result of or complicated by the pregnancy. She was supposed to go home today but they diagnosed her with a rare form of pre-eclampsia that doesn't present the normal symptoms or they might have caught it sooner. They're performing a C section this afternoon, we're just waiting now. The babies are at 34 weeks. They're both over 5 pounds so they may be ok but there's a chance they'll need time in the NICU. Would appreciate any prayers or positive energy you can send our way.

 

[Josh Hughes]

Sending both your way.

Congrats! I'll keep you in my prayers.

 

[Megary]

Will do. All the best.

Tough times indeed Steve my thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife.
You'll get through this one day you'll look back on this together and say "how did we get through that".

 

[BarbarianBrewer]

Sending prayers & positive energy now to you, your wife and the twins!

Hang in there Steve, everything is going to be OK. You've got this.

 

[SabreSteve]

Thank you all! They just took her back to the OR a bit ago. Felt like we literally waited all day. Waiting for them to bring me back. Still praying for the best at this point

 

[Box of Rocks]

All the best to you, your wife and kids as you navigate through these challenges.

Introducing Ruby and Hunter

Ruby was breathing on her own but has been put on a CPAP machine. Hunter's breathing was labored and he's on a breathing tube. Ruby was 5 pounds 8oz. Hunter is just over 5 but they were a little busy with him so I don't have an official weight. Also the computer system is down so they're having to try to record everything on paper and you can tell it's a struggle.

Hoping for the best for you, your wife and the two newborns, Ruby and Hunter!

 

[Josh Hughes]

Wishing you guys a good evening and will continue with the prayers.

Congratulations !

 

[Semper Sitientem]

Congratulations

 

[Sunfire96]

They're beautiful, Steve! Congratulations I hope you and missus get some restful sleep at the hospital before they turn you loose with those two

 

[SabreSteve]

Both babies still need a little help breathing but Hunter is off the tube and they're both on CPAP. No word on when either mom or babies can come home

 

[Josh Hughes]

@SabreSteve just checking on you guys

 

[HighVoltageMan!]

I hope it’s going better. You and your wife are in a tough spot. Our first was in ICU for 5 days after being born with 2 collapsed lungs. It sucked. I’m sure everything will turn out, it just tough right now.

Congratulations Steve, and hoping everyone does well.
