Change of Plans

As with everything in life, we are keeping things interesting at the Wilson house. Today I went for my final NST at Highlands expecting to be sent home as usual and return on Thursday for our final BPP. When Mac did a fantastic job during the NST with his movements and heart rate the doctor and nurse were impressed. When the doctor came in the room to listen one more time to his heart rate she had a change of heart. She said that his heart rate had slowed considerably and she wanted to have me head over to the hospital for about an hour of monitoring. His heart rate looked great and he was responding well, but because I have begun the process of labor the doctors said that it is time for us to head to Charleston. 

We are not wanting to go early, but respect what the doctors are telling us and want to be sure that we are doing everything possible to ensure that Mac is safe on delivery. I will be seeing my MFM specialist one more time tomorrow morning after taking Harlie to school. We will then determine if we need to leave immediately for Charleston or head down after dinner. We have already spoken with Crossbridge and have a place to stay when we arrive. We are so grateful for their flexibility. They are such a blessing. 

With all of that said, we ask for your prayers for our entire family. My parents are being thrown into action almost a week sooner than planned, and Harlie is not very excited about the fact that she is being left behind. Our plan had included her being down there with us our first few nights. We have assured her that we will find a way for her to make it down this Friday. Vince and I are struggling with leaving her behind while feeling like we are making the right decision to go ahead and get down there. We also ask that you pray most of all for Mac's healing. We believe that God has a plan for this precious baby boy and we can't wait to see what he has in store. 

I will be updating our blog as often as possible from this point forward. I will have Vince post pics as soon as we have them. Please feel free to share our link with anyone who will be praying for Mac. We need all the prayers we can get. 

We love you all and will update you soon!
