I was on vacation all last week and just got up to date myself on the Triplets. There is no time to correct spelling or grammar, so forgive some minor errors as I am cutting and pasting straight from email:
Dear all,
Kimberly has been scheduled for a c-section on Monday the 31st; hopefully she will not go into labor before then. The doctors have had to increase her medications to fight off the contractions and calm her uterus down. Our doctor is concerned with her health and it is not helping the twins by staying in her any longer. Kimberly got another round of steroid shots to help the lungs and intestines of the babies develop faster. We met with a lot of different doctors yesterday and we all worked together to come up with this plan to get the babies out on Monday. Kimberly has not been feeling well and she needs her rest more now than ever. Some of you have talked with Kimberly and I and have made arrangements for a visit these are still OK, but the rest of you I would like to please ask you to not come and visit. These visits though enjoyable are very draining on Kimberly and for this reason I ask that you please respect our wishes. Now to the babies, Kiersten is doing very well as always and the doctors don't feel she is at any added risk to be born at 28 weeks. She is just over 2 lbs. now and at the last ultra-sound she got a perfect 8 out of 8 score. Kendra is not growing any more and they feel she will do much better once they get her out. They are concerned about her size and can't tell us what to expect because they won't know how she will do until she is born. Kaytlyn is still in bad shape the doctors don't hold much hope for her but they also did not expect her to make it this long, she is quite the little fighter. Kimberly and I had to make some hard decisions yesterday about how far we want the doctors to go to try and save her; needless to say this was very hard for us. We still have much hope and pray that through Gods grace she will survive. Do to the possible out come on Monday I would also ask the for those of you who have not already made arrangements with us about Monday PLEASE let Kimberly and I have this time to be together and deal with what ever the out come. This has been a VERY LONG road for us and we could not have done it with out all of your support and prayers. We love all of you and just want to say THANK YOU for being such good friends and loving family. There will be a select few of you that I will call with information, once you receive it we would ask that you pass it on so everyone can be up to date. Once again thank you all so very much for understanding.
Love
Kirk, Kimberly, Kaytlyn, Kendra and Kiersten
