Oh, no…oh, no no no. 
I’m so sorry. I followed Ian’s story very closely, though I don’t think I ever posted on any of the threads. My son was born not long before yours, and the closeness of the births really put you, your wife, and your son in my heart.
I’m so sorry that you’re going through this.
本当に祈ってるよ。 Trans: You are in my prayers.
I wish the best to you and your wife. I wish I knew something to say that would make this all better ;_;
Thanks everyone. We called the doctor again, and found out that there still is the possibility that the baby is fine, just that it got started a lot later than what we thought. My wife missed that part of the explanation because of the shock of the other alternative.
I’m sure not a lot of people will blame her for the (hopefully) premature panic, and I’m sure that if we get past this, then it won’t be the last time we get scared.
As I posted, we’re scheduled for an appointment on Friday, and I hope to get some sleep between now and then.
I’m so glad that doctor said it might be fine. Even more prayers headed out for all of you. Keep us updated.
Thank goodness for the hopeful news! Please keep us updated.

It’s good that there’s hopeful news! But no, I certainly don’t blame her for going into panic mode. If I were in her shoes (or yours), I’d be entirely paranoid right about now!
Prayers will continue!
TokyoPlayer, in 5 minutes I’m meeting with a very powerful group of likeminded believers, and we’re going to add you and your family to the list for our Comfort and healing ritual. Generally, I like to get permission first, but since you haven’t asked anyone not to pray for you after it’s been mentioned in the thread, I’m going to throw caution to the wind and do it without your okay.
If it helps, you’re welcome. If it irritates, I’m sorry.
:: sighs a bit with relief and hope ::
I hope everything goes well.
I remembered this the other day as I was lighting the candles (I’ve been lighting some every day): a friend of mine had a first pregnancy that… wasn’t. On the first ultrasound (at 3 months) the doctors discovered there wasn’t a baby. Placenta yes, amniotic sac yes. No baby.
Next pregnancy, because she’d been marked “high risk” due to the previous one, they got the first ultrasound earlier than usual. Oh shit oh shit oh shit… wait, wait, wait, maybe we’re just not seeing it, they’re still very small at this point, reschedule for next week, please have a lot of herbal tea.
Pregnancy number two is now a five year old girl who’s got her twenty zillion uncles (Mom is #10 of 10, a teacher in a local school and one of the community leaders in our church) completely wrapped around her li’l finger, except for a certain Uncle Lilbro who has great fun driving the little princess nuts with his indiference to her charms 
I sure hope this is like my friend’s second scare.
Any news, TokyoPlayer?
Indeed, Inquiring (Enquiring??) minds want to know. I dunno your faith, but I do sometimes pray for you. Hope that’s not a bother for you!
Although I am not a believer, I find comfort that knowing there are people who care and think or pray for us.
Since there’s been an update in this thread, I’ll close this one.
