IV Removed

Hello and greetings to you all.

Little to report today. The biggest news is the doctors had the IV removed from Rebecca's arm. That is a big deal, not just for Rebecca's comfort, but it suggests the doctors are growing calmer about Rebecca's BP and overall health. Rebecca's "ad lib" walking privileges are having a good effect, on her morale if nothing else. I think, too, that getting to dress up in the new maternity clothes we just bought help lift her spirit. Her BP has been steady today in the 140s/90s, so very good news here also.

Xavier is active, his heart beat strong. The nurses have given up trying to use the high-tech heart monitor and have resorted to the simpler Doppler wand. Finds him every time! One of the interesting side effects of letting Rebecca walk around more is that she can feel Xavier drop lower in the womb when she starts walking the hall. What a sensation that must be!

Our God is awesome, His eyes always looking for those on the earth to whom He may show Himself strong!

Always, thank you for your prayers and support. Your feedback and encouragement are also uplifting.
