At only 22 weeks along, Briana Lawler Dean went into labor Wednesday this past week. Her water had broken and she was told by the doctors that the baby would have to be delivered within 24 to 48 hours. The baby would have only a slim chance for survival. She had already lost one baby at about 12 weeks. She was devastated to think she might lose another. We were all devastated.
But PRAISE GOD that after some wonderful prayer warriors interceded, the doctors came back in and said that she didn't lose all of her amniotic fluid and that if they could get the labor stopped the baby could survive in the womb with they fluid she had left and that her body would continue to make more. And PRAISE GOD that He had his hand upon not only her and the baby, but on the doctors also. Through God's help they were able to stop her labor.
The goal now is to try to hold the baby in until she reaches 27 weeks. This means that she must lay flat of her back 24/7 in the hospital until the baby comes.
Please pray hard and often for her and the baby. If anyone would like to bless her with a card, letter or just a line of scripture; anything you think might encourage her, please send them to:
Briana Dean
