Please say 10,000s of prayers for my sister and her baby. Her water broke this morning and she's at the hospital. Baby isn't due until Dec. 20th!
They are starting meds to keep the baby in for as long as possible. They are hoping to delay delivery for at least 48 hours. We only have a level 2 NICU here, so if the baby is too early he'll have to be life flighted to Louisville for the better NICU hospital.
I am so scared and feel so helpless. I can't even go to the hospital because I have no one to watch my kids.

Quick update:
She's not in active labor, but her water completely ruptured. They have started IVs and are optimistic that the baby will stay put for at least 48 hours. The NICU doctors also thought that the baby should be able to stay at that hospital barring no further complications.
When I talked to her she seemed in good spirits and they were coming in to do an ultrasound.
She will not be released from the hospital until after the baby arrives.
Keep the prayers and positive thoughts coming. Thank you!!
