I am posting this to ask for prayers for Doug and his family. His wife, Lisa was admitted to the hospital a few days ago with condition that I’m not fully aware of to describe accurately. He’s been visiting her in the hospital now since then, and I would just ask that we keep him and his family in our prayers at this time. Hopefully soon Doug will be able to check in with us and let us know everything is OK but until then let’s send some love their way.

Hey all thank you for your prayers! They mean so much.
My wife experienced pregnancy complications and delivered our 4th child at 31 weeks. Thank God, Mom and baby are doing well with baby weighing in at a healthy 4lbs 5oz and breathing sufficiently to require only some intervention but not critical.
Ill post more later.____________________________________________________________

Prayers for you, your wife and baby. You can tell your wife, you both should be very comfortable and hopeful, now days they can do great things with "preemies".
I was born at 26-27 weeks, (6 months) in 1955. I weighed 2-8 with a low of 1 lb. 15 oz. 13" long.
I'm 68 years old now, with no medical conditions related to my early arrival. I was told I had a really good caring nurse and doctors. I was in the hospital two months, first in an Isolette, then an Incubator.
I have a photo of a nurse holding me in the hospital nursery with a window to the outside half open!
Maybe that fresh air helped?
I still have the itemized hospital bill, ~$1,500.00. Doctor delivery fee $85.00. Not today's pricing!
Take care of them.

Awesome my man! Congrat's on the addition to your family. Here's to a healthy and safe recovery for both the wife and child.
This reminded me of the song....

Thankfully, no one was taken and all is well. Rock on brother!
