Hang'en in the Hospital

Hang'en in the hospital for Jackson
Hey everyone! We are already up to 32 weeks. For those of you that have been watching our ticker the due date was wrong... we are a week farther along! That was just the first part of our excitement in this first couple of weeks in Vegas. As of Friday August 7th we are getting to hang in the Summerlin hospital for observation and fluids. Our doctor found that the ambionic fluid was at a 4 and that was too low! Jackson seems to be doing fine but they need to get the fluid up to 7 or 8 before Hannah can leave the hospital. There seems to be a concern about him leaning on the ambilical cord with the fluid being so low and cutting down the amount of blood that is sent to him. That was the issue last night serveral times and the Perinatologist is coming in to check Hannah and Jackson out, just in case. Right now they say that Jackson is looking great with his heart beat and movement, they just want to be safe. They have also given Hannah 2 steriod shots to help with the development of Jackson's lungs. The plan is that they will re-check the fluid level on Sunday or Monday to see if it has gotten back to a good level. Please keep praying for us as we go through the adventure of bringing a new member into our family.
Thank you ~ The Cassels Family
