Update, such as it is. Daniel says that so far everyone is fine, no baby yet. But, this baby's time in the womb is probably to be measured now in hours or days rather than weeks or months as originally thought until the weekends events.
I am moving (in my heart and head) from a place of great worry to a point of rejoicing. Just looking forward to hearing about a healthy baby and delivery!
Time to organize my thoughts about todays funeral service and put them to paper and then note's in my bible, used also as markers for the various places I plan to read from.
Very fascinating that we are anxiously awaiting and celebrating a new life starting out here on the same very day that we say our good by's and also celebrate a life well lived who has just now achieved the ultimate graduation and promotion.
My deepest thanks and gratitude for all of you here who are praying for both my grandbaby and my grieving family as well as for me as I negotiate these waters. Again, I am SO glad that my Pilot knows these waters well, and has been through this place many, many times before. I am more than happy to give Jesus Christ the wheel here and play a supporting part! Whenever I forcibly take the wheel of my life, thinking of myself instead of others and Christ JEsus, I run it into the rocks and in SHORT ORDER! Every time this happens, God lovingly removes my life's ship from said rocks, and somehow ALWAYS turns my wreckage into something beutifull, sea worthy and useful again. In Gods word this is reffered to his trading "Beauty for ashes" How many times have I come to God with a 'ship' (my life) in a heap and piled into the rocks and burned to a crisp by my own foolishness. And how many times has he lovingly and patiently, like a father fixing a broken toy for a small child, taken my mess of ashes and splinters and turned them into something beautiful again.
While I have enjoyed watching his work, and am enjoying a life of beauty and blessings given to me by God even right now, I am FINALLY learning - I think - to quit taking the wheel back in the first place! God has this day ordained and figured out. Now, it is for me to listen and find out how I can best jon him in his work and allow myself to be an object of blessing to my grieving family today and be a conduit of Gods love and GOOD NEWS.
LOVE God, LOVE your family, LOVE your country, LIKE guns and sports.

Mark, for what its worth I was a premature baby by six weeks way back in 1980 and a decent hospital then could handle it. I weighed 3 pounds but I made up for it since I packed on another 280 since then lol
Thinking of you and I hope my experience can calm your ragged nerves a bit.

GeoW, THANKS for finding and posting that song clip! I showed it to my mother just now, as her heart is very heavy as well today. It was a blessing to us both. Muchos Gracias.
Finishing my second cup of coffee, then it will be time to don my suit, and get this Euology ordered and into notes and thoughts for later today.
I am a man highly blessed,
Thanks to all of you!

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Sending up one now, Mark. My son was born 10 weeks early, 15 years ago. He is now healthy, happy and an honor student. 7 weeks is early, but if there are no other complications, your grandchild should be just fine.

Adding to the other examples:
My twins born at 33 weeks. Although a couple of issues can come up and they will prolly spend time in the NICU, modern NICUs are well versed at handling these. Kids now 13 and perfect (except the condition of their bedrooms)!
