Niece update.....

Here is the latest:

There wasn't a surgery before birth like I thought.  They both will be on their way here Sunday night on the train.  Ethan was able to get a month off from work, thank you God! They arrive here in Everett at about 8:30 in the morning on Monday.  Bill is then going to pick them up and bring them back to our house for the morning so they can relax/recover from the 12+ hour train ride.  They have a hotel booked in Seattle, which I will take them to Monday afternoon.  They are hoping to be able to get other housing, like maybe the Ronald McDonald house at some point.  We would have them stay with us, but there are a bunch of things that don't make it a good idea: possible hour+ drive in traffic to get to all the appointments and if something urgent comes up (or longer bus ride), they would be relying on us to drive them, no extra beds here just a couch. The main reason being, we don't want to be responsible for getting her to Seattle in an emergency situation since this is not a healthy baby. The doctor has also concurred.

Then, they have several appointments with the doctor at UW this week where they will learn what the exact game plan is.  Her official due date is mid September, but they could do this pretty much any time I think. 

Be praying for the obvious and how we can be there to help.  Whether it be our presence, buying them snacks/food, taking them around Seattle to get them thinking about other things, etc.... Thanks!
