Hi everyone. I just got off of the phone with Steve, and it turns out that Kelly and Leah have both taken a turn for the worse.
Kelly's labor was painful, so she opted for an epidural. Well, after delivery they discover that she was leaking spinal fluid. They have already tried to patch the hole once, but it only held for 12 hours. She is now in pain, extremely week, and unable to care for her baby girl. Because of this the nurses are expressing her colostrum/breast milk to feel to Leah so she can receive these ever important nutrients.
Leah has jaundice right now, and has been spending alot of time under the biliruban lights. She is sleeping more then normal, and is also not eating. They say that Leah is not eating because of sores in her mouth so the nurses are having to spoon feed her the colostrum/breast milk they express from Kelly. Leah is only keeping down about half of what she takes in, the rest comes back up.
I know in my heart that all will be just fine, but would appreciate any prayers for Kelly and Leah's health, for the boys to be understanding and patient at this time, and for Steve to keep his sanity. I know that this must be very hard for him, especially when you figure in the time he has to spend at school and work.
Thanks!

Thanks so much for your prayers ladies.... it has worked! Kelly and Leah are both now home and feeling fantastic. The Dr's said they really cannot explain Kelly's quick recovery or Leah's turn around.... well, I can. It is because the Lord answered our prayers!!!!
