I was wrong. I made it to 10:30 before the bad news hit. I spoke with my doctor concerning where we are. At this point, we aren't growing and she's too small for even the hospital to consider trying to save. My platelets have dropped, although not to a dangerous level yet. However, at the rate of progression, I don't have too many more days. Being that's the case, there's not much else for us to do. I was told even if a miracle happened and I made it to 29 weeks, the rate of growth would restrict her and she would be so far behind mentally that she may not have much quality of life.

All I know at this point, is my heart really hurts. We're trying to be strong and just be thankful that I caught this when I did. Otherwise, I may have put myself at serious risk. Of course, that doesn't make this any easier, but we'll take what we can get I guess.

I don't know what to say Kerry. It must be a rollercoaster of emotions and I am so sorry you have to experience it. I think of you, Shannon, and baby every day.

Oh... I'm so very sorry, Kerry! Please know that you are in wonderful hands and everyone is praying for you. If you want or need anything at all, please call and we'll be there. Otherwise, I'll just hold off on visiting and let you have some personal time with your family. Please try and be strong.

I wish there were words of comfort for you Kerry. Lean on Shannon and your family for support, they are there no matter what, and so I am I if you need anything.
I am still praying. God knows more than any Dr, He is still in control. No matter what happens He will always be there to hold you.

Father, we bring Kerry to you right now. Lord, be with her and bring healing to her body. Cover and protect her and her precious baby girl. We give this situation over to you and trust you with their lives. Bring health and healing to both of them. Bring this baby into this world healthy and crying!

In Jesus Name,


Keeping them in my prayes, please keep us updated!
