God has graced us with another day. The doctors came in this morning and said they were amazed at Jana's uterus. They were all sure that she would deliver on Friday. They checked all of the baby's heartbeats and they are all doing great.
We got a visit from the neonatal doctor that will be evaluating our little angels if they decide to come out early. He said that they won't try to revive the babies unless they make it to 23 weeks. He feels that we really need to make it to 25 weeks in order to have a better chance for premature triplets to survive.
Even though Jana's water has broken, baby A is still hanging on.
Our pastor came in last night and said a wonderful prayer for Jana and I and our three little angels. We pray to be strong and have courage and peace with this process, because we know it is out of our hands.
We have the nicest nurse here named Kelsey that gave Jana a "spa" treatment, washing her hair in a haircap, rubbing lotion on her back and legs "mango" for the women that care about those things. Then she brushed her hair out and even offered to braid her hair. We are blessed to be where we are at in dealing with this situation.
We watched most of the tournament games on Saturday and I think this is the first time the Aggies were in the tournament and I wasn't glued to the TV. It's amazing how your priorities change.
A big thank you to all the prayers and positive thinking that is going on out there. We are at 22 and 4/7 weeks today (that's how the NICU guys talk).
I'll keep you updated.
Just stop...

This is great news! Every day counts, and I am continually praying for all of you. I'm glad you are getting the best of care. Thanks, Pat, for the updates. I think about you guys all day. I'm sending big, big hugs and prayers.
Jana and Pat and babies, every day is truly a blessing. Baby A is fighter like her mom. Take care of each other. You 5 are in my prayers, as are the doctors and nurses. I pray those little angels stay nestled inside for many more sunrises and sunsets.
Jana and Pat,
What great news! Each and every day is truly a gift from our amazing God. It is inspiring to see how many people are lifting your family up in prayer. People who don't know you, but know your story. People who don't know you, but have been told what wonderful people the both of you are! People who do know you and love you so much! You are in my thoughts and prayers continually throughout the day!
Tell your sweet little girls to stay cozy and warm inside the comfort of their "home"! Tell them not to rush....to take their time! (You know how many women would love to hear that they should take their time?!) Tell them they have a special friend from Texas who will pay them a special visit one day and will probably bring gifts! :)
I love you guys!
I am praying for you. Like I said earlier---we may not know each other--but we know each others story.
For me, Baby A's water broke at 16 5/7 days. I am now at 26 3/7 days. God bless you, your husband, and three precious angels.
That is great news that your angels are hanging in, you are always in my prayers!!! I am glad that you are getting such great care and it seems like you are a wonderful hospital.

i am sending you the largest long-distance cyber hug i can muster
