Oh God

Hello Everyone again...Sarah here with an update.

Thank you all for your good thoughts and wishes...we need them even more. Charlie just phoned and they've admitted Cec to the hospital. She appears to have severe preclampsia...protein in her urine is 3+. They are doing a 24-hr urine test to see if it drops and checking her pressure, which is hovering around 160/84.
The meds they would give to prevent seizures are too dangerous this early in the pg, apparently.

They may be faced with terminating this pregnancy.

Cecily asks for all your prayers, talismans, whatever you can bring, bring it on. She needs you now.

Thanks again for the support, and I'll let you all know tomorrow what is happening.

I can't believe this is happening. I know I'm in a state of shock still...I can't imagine how C and C are feeling.

Sarah

I'm right there with you in the shock department. Thanks for the postings Sarah. This is unbelievable. I have been thinking of them all day since I read your first post and I hope all our thoughts and prayers will be heard.

[Julie]

Cecily.

I am thinking of you.

[Chris]

Praying....

[Julia]

Oh, Jesus. I didn't check her blog yesterday, so I just now caught up.

Please tell Cecily and her husband that our thoughts and prayers are with her. I'm praying for the best possible outcome for everyone. And a miracle, or two wouldn't hurt either.

[JJ]

...more prayers...

[Moxie]

More prayers.

[libby]

Oh dear. Oh I'm so so sorry, Cecily. I've never commented before but I will be hoping and praying for you.

[Anne]

Oh no! I must have just missed yesterday’s post when I checked in to see how things were going so I’ve only just now got caught up. Cecily I’m crying and praying (and a little part of me is shaking a fist and cursing too) for you, C, and your boys.

I just want you to know we’re all here with you ...

And thank you Sarah.

[Liana]

God please be there for Cecily at this horrible time.

I will be praying as hard as I can.

[cherylc]

I'm so sorry. I'll be thinking and hoping as hard as I can.

Still praying desperatly and hoping for some sort of survival...I know there is already one death but I hope to G-d everyone else is ok...

I am so sorry ...I just cannot believe this...I will say all the prayers that I know....sending so much love your way..

[Katie]

Oh my God! I cannot believe what I'm reading here! I've been gone for a few days and come back to read this shocking news. Please tell Cecily how truly sorry I am and I will pray for her and her little one tonight. This is so tragic!

Please keep us all updated. I know everyone in blogland is very worried about her.

[moogielou]

I am so sorry this is happening.

We are all here for you and will continue to keep you in our thoughts.

Hello- I love this blog and was also pregnant with twins after IVF. I also lost one boy and am currently at 21 weeks with the girl. Much like this blog, after the death of the one (also no heartbeat but looked normal) very late into the pregnancy (also separate sacs), I was categorized as extremely high risk and told the whole thing may end.

There is no one answer and outcome, it really is up to God, but here is what I did: I googled online prayer groups and emailed over 100 with my story, asking them to pray for me and the surviving baby. I also did remote energy healing (hired someone) because I was not allowed to leave the bed for over a month. I grieved like crazy and expected the worst but hoped for the best.

Since then, there have been other scares, not easy, but if it is possible, have her try to enlist this kind of army of help so that its not just her and the bed and the doctors and the lack of movement. It really helps, if only to feel better, and if it works too, wtf? It can't hurt. Please don't think I'm trying to be polyannaish or better than, but psychologically knowing I had people praying like that did wonders for my spirit.

There are no words to tell you how sorry I am that this is happening. I'm so sorry for the little boy who was lost. I am praying that the doctors are able to help Cecily and her baby. Sarah, please let her know that so many of us care for her.

[Elizabeth]

C, and Sarah, and all of you suffering with this, I am sending all the white light, the prayers, the energy I can to you. I will hold you in the safest place I can. Please God, or whomever is guiding this, be careful with these people. They are in need of you.

[Sam]

Oh, shit shit shit. I'm not the praying type, but I'll say one tonight for you Cecily, and your baby boy.

[Lindsey]

Sending even more prayers your way...I just can't believe this is happening.

[Emily]

OMG, nooooooo! Oh I'm so sorry, I'm sending as many prayers her way. Oh please, this can't be happening.

[laura]

It is just not fair. Sending you love and support from a lurker. You are going to be alright and you are going to have a healthy baby if we all have anything to do with it. Please please God listen to us all

[juno]

Cecily,

I am so sorry for the loss of one of your boys. I am sending all my thoughts of love and strength and health to you and your family.

[Joanne]

Silent prayers for Cecily, Charlie and the little one.

[Sherry]

...even more prayers...

[getupgrrl]

More prayers from this corner. Hang on, Cecily. We're with you.

[Liz]

I hope things start looking up. Thinking good thoughts for you...
