Pamela's Pregnancy 33 weeks gestation

Pamela went to the midwife today. They took 5 tubes of blood for different tests that the endocrinologist wanted ran before he saw her. They have officially put her on bed rest until further notice. She tummy measured 30 when she should measure 33, but praise God this is up one from last week. She has lost another pound though. So please pray that she can put on some weight. They are checking her thyroid, blood sugar, and several other things to see if they can figure out what is wrong. Please pray that they can figure this out.

She had a problem like this a few years ago and we took her to the hospital and they didn't really do anything for her. They told her that she was just have some type of mental problems and prescribed her some medicine that helped her to sleep. She lost quite a bit of weight and had almost exactly the same symptoms.

Please pray for her as we try to figure out what steps to take from here. Please pray for Caitlyn as she tries to run the household and take care of her mother as I go to work. Please pray for me that I will be able to handle working all day and then coming home working with the kids. Please pray for Pamela as she has to lay around and feels she can't fulfill her role as keeper of her home.
