I’m with Gabby in the Labour & Delivery Ward at Royal Alexandra Hospital…
It’s 1:30pm MDT and Gabby’s contractions are 3min apart and about 35-45s long.
Prayers for safe delivery & mom is kept safe & mom gets to bond with baby for a least a few minutes after birth depending on how he/she is doing! Hoping and praying for at least 10m.
(my typing is annoying her a bit so updates may be short!)
(she’s on a bathroom break)
A few have asked:
Gabby is delivering in the Royal Alexandra Hospital. Baby will be transported to University of Alberta Hospital (Stollery Childrens Hospital) once stabilized (and on prostaglandin). (prayer request: for safe transportation! and baby is stable!) Once mom has recovered (prayer request: for safe recovery and for natural birth and no c-section/complications) she can come to NICU at UofA Hospital. Stollery is where they will perform the first of the 3stage Norwood operation required for our baby. This will be scheduled within 3-7 days.
Dad will try to go to NICU asap and come back to get mom when she is ready.
The hospitals are not far apart: Map of both
UofA Hospital is pretty close to Ronald McDonald House… Even walking distance : Map of both
(Gabby is back from her bathroom break… time to stop)
Praying Right Now May God pour out his blessings on this birth, May his love be wrapped around You and Gabby right now, May this be a safe delivery, may your children be calm and blessed at home, may we see miracles today Lord!! Praise God
Lord Jesus we pray for Gabby,Chris and little baby Torrens grant all they have asked for a safe delivery. Lord we beg for a miracle today, and we pray for a completely healthy baby, repair his/her heart before he/she is born. May your glory shine through today, and may your handiwork be evident and life changing, for everyone, involved, use this as an opportunity to change lives. We trust in you Lord. In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen sister. God’s will be done.
We will continue to hold you all up in prayer
