It's a go!



We got the green light from our OB to go ahead and take Prednisone!! Praise teh Lord! (See "Hematologist" post below if you missed out on the latest Baby Carson Delivery update.) Hollie will start taking "Prednisone" on November 30th and will slowly taper off the medicine as December 6th rolls around.

Hollie is a bit nervous about the effects of the medicine, but believes the pros outweigh the cons.

How to pray for us? There are two prayers we'd love for you to join us in asking the Father:
  1. That the Lord would see fit to turn Baby Carson head-down. That is our heart's desire.
  2. Whether Baby Carson turns or not, please let us make it to December 6th, so we have the option & time to take Prednisone and experience our Baby's birth into this world! If Hollie goes into labor early, she will automatically have an emergency c-section and be put under general anesthesia. We will have to make a serious, mad-dash to the hospital if this happens.

We hope that you are having the best Thanksgiving Day and that you've been blessed with time with family, incredible amounts of food, rest and of course "football!"
