Hello everyone!

Here’s just a quick note as to why we’re still in the hospital.

Virginia labored for over 38 hours.  She almost had the baby out when she developed an infection.

She got sick and developed a high fever, which caused the baby’s heart to rise.  Because of the prolonged labor, Virginia was so worn out and her uterus could no longer push.  She was experiencing a lot of pain.

In the end, b/c of Virginia’s sickness as b/c of the baby’s heart rate, we determined to go into c-section.

She did great!  But during the surgery, she experienced a lot of pain and lost a lot of blood.

She is still recovering in the hospital.  She’s receiving medication as well as a blood transfusion.  She’s going through a lot.

It’s been incredibly emotional and tough for me to see my wife go through all of this.  Our first birth with Tabitha was traumatic as well.  We really thought it wouldn’t happen again.  But God has been good and faithful.

Virginia is recovering.  Please pray for her.

Barnabas was exposed to the infection so for precautionary purposes, he’s under observation and receiving some preventative antibiotics.  But so far so good.  He’s responding well and seems healthy.  He’s under observation for another day.

We will be here in the hospital for at least until Wed. afternoon.  Then the docs will evaluate.

Please pray for a speedy recovery for Virginia.  She’s simply amazing!

Thank you everyone for your support and prayers.

We hope you can visit us once Virginia is healthier and once Barns is a little stronger.

Praise God!  He is always good, no matter what happens.
