Update On The Tadpoles
I wrote a post recently about my fraternity brother, Tadd in California and his wife being pregnant with twins. The outlook was "cautiously optimistic" about being able to keep the pregnancy going for basically 39 days so that the babies could reach 28 weeks. Hava has been having contractions on and off, but was able to receive medication which caused the contractions to subside. I don't know if they started again or not, but the twins were born earlier today and were still away from 28 weeks by about 27 days:
Derby Jackson (the boy) - 8:46 a.m. - 1 lb, 6.5 oz
Loen Rose (the girl) - 8:44 a.m. - 1 lb, 7 oz
Please keep the four of them in your thoughts and prayers, or as Tadd put it, anything you do to support them through this obviously difficult time.
There is hope as one of our older alumni from the fraternity responded back to Tadd's message with "If it will make you feel any better, and make you more hopeful, I was born about 16 weeks premature as well. This was back in 1944 when medical techniques weren't as sophisticated as they are today."
