Falls big fall

Well we had a great Thanksgiving! Then 2 days later Shelley and Luke went shopping to get Luke some new jeans, as the weather had turned colder. Coming out of Old Navy Luke was playing and he and Shelley went down in the parking lot. Luke landed on his knees but Shelley landed on her hand and arms. Considering that her abdomen is now bigger than her arms this was not a good thing. A very nice family helped them get up and Shelley called her Drs. She was told to go to the hospital to be monitored. When she got there they did a bunch of tests and not only did they not like her blood pressure but found that she had too much protein in her urine. A clear sign of pre-eclampsia. She stayed in the hospital and will be there until the triplets are born. At this time the c-section to deliver them is planned for Dec 13th. The kids will be in the NICU for some time but we are hoping not more then 2 weeks. Shelley should, if all goes well, be able to come home around the 17th.

Robert is surviving at home with Luke and they go to see Shelley everyday. The first week Shelley was in the hospital Shelley's mom took care of Luke while robert went to work but then Robert's mom flew into town and she is helping us. Thanks for all the prayers and assistance to everyone we really appreciate it.
