Hello to you all. Thank you for all the feedback, encouragement and support.

Rebecca's condition has been re-classified from "severe pre-eclampsia" to "chronic hypertension." As was asked today (and many of you may now be asking), does this change anything? The short answer is "no," it's a rose by another name, except that chronic hypertension is not cured by giving birth. It may be that the doctors will take different tactics to manage Rebecca's BP now that they have a new name to call it by. Already they have modified her BP meds from 100 mg 3 times a day to 200 mg twice a day.

As has been the issue for several weeks, the placenta is restricting nutrient flow whether the blood pressure cause be hypertension or pre-exclampsia, and our prayers are also including the placenta's health.

Rebecca is allowed to roam the halls freely without a wheelchair; she took advantage of this three times already today.

The doctors have also reclassified Xavier's condition. They now do not consider Xavier viable outside the womb at this time. This was an expected conclusion by us since our conversation with them on Tuesday. The doctors are going to wait until Xavier is at 26 weeks before reconsidering this decision, and they will concentrate on Rebecca's health and stability. The reason is he is still too small.

We are still having Xavier monitored once a day by the nurse. His heart beat is strong and in the 140-150 ranges. He is also very active. He was moving much last night and today. His goal is to grow, baby, grow!

The doctors spoke a little about the ultrasound taken Tuesday. They mentioned measuring 2.5 cm pockets of amniotic fluid. This may be an increase in fluids, but we cannot be sure as the margin of error is within the 0.5 cm increase from a week ago.

Xavier is strong. Rebecca is strong. Strong and able is our God!

All three of us thank you for your prayers and support. Their value is incalculable!
