Pm hey you made it
B yeah now can you tell me what is going on
Pm yeah lets go out in the hall
B I want to stay right here
Pm lets just talk in the hall and then you could come right back in
B so what is it? Is she going to be all right? How about the babies? What happened?
Pm well we went to the movies and then came back and she said she was having these stomach pains so she went to go lay down and I went to go make some soup for her and came back and she was asleep. She slept for 2 hours and then said it still hurt and was getting worse so I said lets go to the ER and see if everything is ok.
B ok
Pm so they took her right away because it was getting worse and the doctor said she is going in to premature lobor and it is still early even though twins come early but usually not this soon. So he gave her something to try and stop them from coming for at least a few more weeks but he doesn't know if it is going to work.
B what if it doesn't will they be alright
Pm they could be fine or there might have a few problems
B how did she take it
Pm not well the doctor has not been back into look at her yet. I called mom and told her but no one else
B oh ok well I will call but do you think I should wait to see if she has to have them and things get worse or should I just call and give the heads up.
Pm well I think her family should know but it is up to you
B yeah you are right well I am going to call George. You can go if you want thanks for staying with her
