Please Pray for Renee


Renee is 34 weeks pregnant and went into the hospital at 4:00 this morning after going into premature active labor. They've given her magnesium to try and slow the labor down, and apparently it's working so far. Once they get her contractions to stop they will be transferring her to Abiline where there is a Neonatal ICU. They're hoping to keep her for another two weeks.

For those of you who don't know, 36 weeks is considered "safe" to deliver the baby, but not too much before that. Please remember her and Joel and the baby (and Calvin and Donny) in your prayers today.

UPDATE (10:15 P.M.) : Renee was able get the contractions stopped long enough to be transferred to Abilene. Once she got there the labor started up again and progressed entirely. Little Josephine was born around 10:00 tonight! They don't know much about her yet, as she was whisked away to the Neonatal ICU, but we know that she's doing well at this point. We're hoping to go up this weekend to see them all. Thank you everyone for your prayers - please continue them for the Duffield family these next few days.
