In Labor

(This is Kim's sister writing updates.)

I don't quite know how to begin this post, other than, it was a crazy weekend in Peoa.
The nephews (ages 10-14) were on the golf cart and an accident occurred.  Parker (11) was run over.  It was a very scary situation, which resulted in life flight coming and taking him to Primary Children's Hospital.  He has a broken femur and had surgery this morning.

Kim and Michael were in Peoa when this happened.  Being the sweet aunt that she is, she was very concerned for Parker.  We adults were rushing here and there, trying to give aid where needed.  Once I sat with Kim and assured her it was going to be fine, but to please not go into labor. :)  She said she was fine.

An hour after life flight took off, Kim was sitting on the couch, and said she just felt sick, and had a stomach ache.  That had us a little worried, but she assured us, she was just uncomfortable, these were not labor pains.

We all went to bed in Peoa, trying to quiet our minds from the horrific scenes of Parker's accident.  At 3 am the pains continued and started to worry she and Michael so they woke up our parents.  They decided it best to go to the hospital.  Upon arrival to the Park City Hospital, it was discovered she was dilated to a 5.

The babies are 33.5 weeks along right now.  They decided they needed to get her to a hospital equipped with NICU.  Originally, they thought about relieving family strains, and trying to go to a hospital near Parker.  :)  In the end she ended up being ambulanced to UVRMC (Provo).

They've given her meds to stop or slow contractions.  They did an ultrasound and discovered the boy is head down, the girl is breech.  Previously, they were transverse.

At current (3pm Utah time) the contractions are 5 minutes apart.  She is approaching a 4 hour mark where they can give her more meds to hopefully slow the contractions. 

The longer the babies can stay in, the better!

I will update more when I hear more...


Sweet Kim.  Being transported from Park City - Provo.

She said she feels like she's always taking the spotlight off others.  A few weeks after Les found out she was having triplets, Kim found out she was having twins.
Parker had an accident - then she went into labor.

  2. None of us ever feel like you are trying to take attention away. If anything, we feel bad that you don't get as much as you deserve. I wish I could be there to support everyone...
