Thanks for posting this.. I was Posting this on the Pregnancy Loss Board...
Ladies.. Brandi has been through three other losses.. she lost conjoined twins, another loss after that.. and now Evan. No one should have to go through what she has been through.. We all know how hard a loss is... I am in tears for her and her family. It is just fair... she was 21 weeks this time.

I posted on their due date club but I wanted to post here too. I have been following Brandi's story for a long time. I was in a ddc with her and then I had to leave...her story is uplifting and so sad at the same time. I had such high hopes for this pregnancy for her. Her blog is so amazing to read. She has had a hard road to travel and my prayers go up for her and her family. Miracles happen, let's hope the Lord hears the many prayers going up for them right now...

Hi ladies,
Brandi is in my DDC, and I have also been checking the updates. I think the last one was at 730 last night and apparently they were evaluating whether they could keep him in the sac and birth canal at least two more weeks so he has a shot at being viable. However, they had to take Brandi off the meds that inhibit contractions I think b/c her blood pressure was fluctuating. No news this morning yet, praying everything is at least status quo. Nobody should ever have to go through this!

Things are not going their way. Looks like Evan will be here today and Brandi is fighting pneumonia. Please pray for peace for this family. It's so heartbreaking....truly.

Here are the two latest Updates......One from this morning and one from an hour ago.
11:22am: Still no Evan but her contractions have picked up a little. Not sure how much longer it will be. As soon as they call, I will let you know.
8:22am: Things have taken a turn for the worse. Brandi is now on oxygen due to low o2 sats. She has fluid in her lungs & possibly pneumonia. Evan is now all the way out up to his shoulders, leaving his hands stuck up & his head still in the uterus while the rest is already out. There is also an infection of some sort happening.
Unfortunately, the only "fix" is to deliver Evan. She will be started on pitocin in a few minutes & they believe it will only take a little while before Evan is born. Since he is breech, she has to push him out quickly otherwise he will die during birth. This is the only chance he has for survival, one or 2 pushes.
Please pray. Brandi is devastated, crying & does not sound well. Praying is what we need to do. It is likely that David or Brandi's mom, Nikki, will call me after they have spent time w/ Evan. The hospital photographer will be on hand to take pictures.
God, please give this family peace.
