Spez: 1PM mom just got an epidural, she’s almost fully dilated and most likely he’ll be coming in the next couple of hours. Thanks again for love and support, pedes. Ya’ll are the greatest of the internet.

Thanks frens for all your thoughts and prayers. The advice and stories have made us both feel 100 times better.
She was admitted to a hospital with a level 3 NICU. They were able to hold off her labor for a few days, but regardless as of this morning at 4:30, she’s 6cm dilated and could give birth any time.
We wish he had more time, but our doctors are very optimistic about his survival. If he does survive, he will likely spend the next few months in the NICU.
Spirits are high. God is watching over my family… I know it. Please continue to send prayers. Thank you all. 🙏♥️
I pray for your little one and your wife, total healing, good health and strength and protection in Jesus name! Ive got a 28 weeker and 32 weeker. Both are fine, both also had near fatal condition that required the early birth, totally healed, no sign of anything remains. Both were even fully breastfed, despite low supply and nicu stays. What is impossible with man IS POSSIBLE with God. 100%. One came home on O2 bc the vent was damaging--we weaned her off quickly. And she has the strongest lungs now, at 4 y/o and says 'thats bc THE LORD healed my lungs' , and its actually true. So even if later you face this, dont worry, but pray and believe.
Its scary and long nicu stays are not easy but keep God first in your mind over your situ, stand in your faith that He WILL do it-He will get your thru it with miracles along the way. And you will be on the other side before you know it. God is with you both and your precious baby. 🙏✝️
Im praying, like Im sure many others here are.
