Allison (my wife) is on her way home from visiting the Hays at the hospital this morning. So far the report is very good. Laura was given patosin at around 4 a.m. and then given a low dose epaderal at around 7:00 am. At 10:00am the doctors broke her water and Laura almost immediately started feeling better. Since her fluid levels have been almost twice the normal amount it has been very uncomfortable for her and she has had a hard time breathing. With all that fluid gone she is feeling much, much better. Joe just had lunch with the family and said that Laura is starting to feel the contractions a little bit more, which is a good sign.

Allison got to go in to see Joe and Laura in their room, and she said that Laura is just amazing. For those of you who know her personally this won't come as any surprise. She is calm, in good spirits, and steady. Their room is very nice and has a leather sofa that Joe can sleep on and windows overlooking the Hudson river. They are in a private room and will remain there until Ira is born.

Right now the specific prayers that are needed are for labor to progress, and that Ira will make it into the NICU in stable condition.

I will post an update as soon as anything changes. Thank you for your prayers.

Jason

Dear family in Christ and in crisis:

We just wanted you to know that we have been praying for you. We traveled to Tyler early this morning and prayed for each of you along the way.

John called the church building and spoke to D.J. and he was told the wait goes on. (This was around 11:00 a.m. our time.)

We asked the Westover Hills Church of Christ in Austin, now our home congregation, to pray for the four of you and all those that will be ministering to you.

We asked the Lord for a safe delivery for Ira and Laura and for peace, comfort and healing for all.

The poem written by anonymous says it all.

We are holding fast to the belief in answered prayer and that God will be there in the middle of it all and see each of you through to victory in Him in all the decisions that need to be made at this time.

Hang on tight to the Lord your Savior, the ride is just beginning. He is holding on to you in all ways.

God bless.

In His Name,

John and Saundra Tesseyman
Leander, Texas
