Laurie in hospital

Laurie went into hospital on Friday afternoon. The twins decided they wanted to come early. We saw Dr G late in the afternoon and he booked Laurie into hospital. She is on medication to stop the onset of labour. So far she is responding positvely to the drugs. Today they will start to wean her off the medication and see if the labour pains do not come back. She may be discharged on Monday, but I thing this is unlikely. There is a good chance Laurie might stay in hospital for a least two weeks.

The good news is that the twins are viable. They are 1.6Kgs each, which is good. They may have to go onto a ventilator for a couple of days to help their breathing. Laurie is being given quaterzone injections to help develop their lungs.

I will keep everyone updated via this blog.
