Positive Thoughts Needed

My BIL Lee and his wife Terri are having their baby today. She's 28 weeks and 2 days. She's got a placental abruption (apparently small enough to monitor with hospital bed rest) and PTL. They stopped the mag yesterday morning and if she started contracting they were going to rock & roll with the section. Apparently, things became necessary this morning. She was nervous the other night when I spoke with her. They did get steroids in on Wed.

Any positive thoughts you can send their way would be appreciated. The newest baby boy of our family is on his way.

ETA: Baby Ryker is here! 2lbs 10oz. Sounds like he was doing well after birth.

ETA 05/03/09: Ryker is continuing to do okay. He's dropped some weight down to 2lbs 4oz, but is eating 10cc's of breastmilk every 3 hours. He's on cpap, and they are looking at trying things without that in a few days.

Lots of good thoughts and prayers coming his way. Many hopes that he'll progress well and be graduating from the NICU before they know it!
