Negative
We just received the test results from the FFT done this morning and they were negative... very good news as the contractions have mostly subsided today! I'm still on the magnesium sulfate and they just moved my IV site to a new location to prevent infection. Hopefully we'll get some good news tomorrow morning when I see my own doctor and she'll discharge me sometime Tuesday to be on bedrest at home.
Many of you have mentioned the steroid shots for Faith Clare's lungs and I wanted you to know that I received both shots, one Wednesday night and the other Thursday night. She continues to do well and seems to be as active as ever, which obviously makes us really happy. I know she's a fighter and is going to be a tough little girl, giving us a run for our money sometime soon!
Deacon is doing great with Dusty's mom and is enjoying the undivided attention... something I can worry about "altering" at a later date. Dusty has done a great job juggling work, time with me and time with Deacon so I'm especially grateful for him and his constant support. Again, we are so thankful for all of the support and the prayers for peace, comfort, reassurance and protection! We know the Lord hears each and every one and we feel very confident in His plan for all of this.

We usually hope for positive results and this time negative is so good. I am thanking the Lord for answering the prayers of the multitudes praying for your family. He is so very good and loving. My prayers continue for safety and comfort as Faith continues to develop fully before her birthday in December. I love you and am so thankful the Lord is orchestrating your family to run smoothly as this has taken place. He is confident and proud of you too!!!
Love, Laurie in Ca.

I am friends with Jennifer Mills, and have been praying for your situation since Jennifer posted about your sweet little girl. We will continue to pray that the contractions will cease and that you will be more comfortable.
I think her name, Faith, is just perfect.
