Wondering if anyone has heard from HeathJo

Hey everyone, I know theres a couple of you that talk to Heather outside of this website (Jen??) and wondering if anyone has heard from her, and how she is doing.  Was just thinking about her, and hoping those babies are still growing.  Anyone know anything?

Thanks.

So good to hear!!  Please let her know she continues to be in our thoughts, and so happy to hear things are improving and we will have two nice healthy babies coming into the world.  Helen, thanks so much for continuing the updates.

Thanks for the updates Helen.  I am glad she is doing a bit better, and that the twins are still staying put.  That is such a relief. I will continue praying for her and little Henry and Cadence.  I just know in my heart all is going to turn out well.

Another update on Heather Jo:
she is still in a hospital but doing better.  Her pain meds (demerol??) is keeping the pain under control.  The swelling (i.e. pre eclapsia) is also down.  Her blood pressure is all over the place but it's not as high as before.  Also, Heather's contractions are not as bad as they were.  Heather will be 33 weeks this Wednesday and hopes to go another week to 34 weeks since babies are doing really well and growing and she is doing so much better than her first week.
I told her that everyone is sending good wishes and prayers her way and she was REALLY touched.

I just talked to Heather again.  She is still battling pre eclampsia but her blood work improved somewhat and she is getting some shots for her pain which helps.  Her babies gained a pound each since she entered the hospital which is a good news.  They are taking it day by day and basically waiting for the downturn when they will HAVE to deliver the twins.  Each day that she is able to keep her twins inside saves 3 days in the NICU so she is doing everything she can to go as long as possible.  

Heather was sooooo touched by everyone's good wishes!

I talked to HeathJo two days ago and she was still in the hospital struggling to keep her babies inside every day.  Her kidneys basically gave up and there is lots of protein in her urine and her liver is getting worth.  I think she will be delivering this week (HeathJo is 32 weeks right now).  
Please keep Heather and her twins in your prayers.
