oh pray!

trisha (my sister-in-law) has been in the hospital since monday, but previous to that has been on "minor" bedrest for about a week. her blood pressure has been dangerously high. today they checked her protein levels- they are supposed to be around 200 and her's were over 2,000! she's been put on magnesium (which causes a lot of pain), as there's a chance she could have siezures. tonight they start the process of inducing her. her body is not ready to give birth at all. she is not dialated. their baby weighs less then 5lbs and is at least 6 weeks early. needless to say, luke (my brother) 'n trisha are pretty scared, and feeling quite over-whelmed. they start patosen (sp?) tomorrow morning. if he (the babe) doesn't come within 24 hours, trisha starts having more problems, or the baby has issues, they will have to do a c-section. (which, of course, trisha does not want) then, the little guy will have to be in the NICU. they were meeting with the NICU dr. today to hear all the possible things that could happen. i guess that was pretty hard to hear. when i talked to trisha ealier, she just burst into tears...which if course, made me burst into tears. i know my brother is struggling, too.

please pray!! and thank you...
