My wonderful Brother and Sister in law have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of a baby boy due April 1st. Thursday morning Danielle felt the baby moving, but by mid morning was beginning to have pains. The pains worsened and she was taken to LDS hospital. She was then transferred to U Of U hospital. With no prior symptoms, she was experiencing preeclampsia and something called DIC. Some time on Thursday the baby passed away.
Before she was able to deliver the baby, Danielle began to have major health problems related to what was going on. She spent a lot of time in ICU, and after a very scary night, was finally stable enough and gave birth to Peydon on Friday morning. He was almost 4 lbs, 16" long, with hair, Danielle's nose, and Alex's long fingers.
It's been a very emotional weekend for the entire family and friends. Danielle's mom stayed by her side with Alex through it all. Jan & Shonagh have spent a lot of time with them as well. We were able to go see them on Friday. It breaks my heart to even try to imagine what they are going through. I know they will find the strength they need, and with all the prayers and support they have rec'd, they will make it through. But I know it is going to be a hard road for them and desperately wish they didn't have to travel it. I just love them so much!

I have felt so sad since Peggy told me yesterday. I just keep thinking about how difficult this must be! I'm so glad that Danielle made it through, but can't imagine how hard things will be for a while. I'll be praying for you all, but Danielle especially!

Peggy called and told me right after it happened. I am sick to my stomach over it. I'm so sad and hurting for Danielle. She is such a wonderful and beautiful person. I can't imagine how much hurt and sadness she is feeling right now. I'll pray for her.
