labor scare

Kerri and I have been traveling to Orlando the last week or so, taking our time along the way. we saw some friends in south MS, then went on to Destin and stayed a few days there before going on to Orlando. I went on to Miami to work with the MAC offices for a week or so this past Sunday. Kerri called me Tuesday night from the hospital and said she was dialated 3-4cm and i needed to come. She was put on magnesium to try and stop labor, which seemed to work okay. She was then transported to another hospital better equipped for 25wk neonatal care. This morning her water ruptured, and we were worried that the babies would be here today. We sent prayer requests to everyone we knew, and we really felt the prayers literally coming from around the world, which was an overwhelming feeling in a good way. The contractions stopped and the fluid leakage stopped for a while. They have continued since, but slightly. The babies have done really well, and seem to be fighters, we just wish they'd be a little more patient. We are told that the next couple of days should tell us more. The rupture could heal on its own, which we're hoping and praying for. If not, we could be delivering in the next couple of days. Please keep us in your prayers, and we will try and update with any developments.
