On May 31st, 2008 (Saturday) our SON became critical. At 7:30 a.m. in MOAB, at Arches National Park, Shelby experienced pPROM (preterm Premature Rupture Of the Membrane). I rushed Shelby to the Moab Hospital. Here we were given the diagnosis that she would pass the baby in the next 24 hours. At 3:45 p.m. we took the Life Light to Salt Lake and then Ambulanced to St. Mark's Hospital. We spent 2 nights here as the Doctor's and Nurses waited for Boston to pass and be terminated. Shelby is 20 weeks pregnant and this is the usual time to experience PROM. Today's technology isn't capable of saving a child at 20 weeks. The baby has a chance at 24 weeks, but physical difficiencies are eminent. We are home now trying to beat the odds. Normalcy is probable around 32 weeks. We are shooting for 30+ weeks. Boston's life is at the mercy of the Lord and nature. We believe in you Boston and will not quit!
