SUCCESS!!!!

Another blessing has been bestowed upon the DeLorenzo family! Dana's surgery went perfect and the amnio on Miller was even better! Dr. Berry and Dr. Uribe visited with Jim, Sonia and I after the surgery and informed us that Dana as usual was an over-achiever. Dr. Berry displayed a strong confidence in her success which put all of us at ease. We can not give enough thanks to the doctors, nurses, friends and family for all of their support during this time of need. Dana is resting well in room 246 and has orders to get out of bed and walk tomorrow if she feels up to it. Yes actually get out of bed! Dr. Berry indicated that we can return home Friday or Saturday with Dana on continued bed rest for another 7-10 days. We will consult with Dr. Uribe on his decision of when we return to our home but all signs show positive and we continue to stay strong in our faith. This has been a unique experience of highs and lows but we stay determined to bring Miller and Dana through this with a 30+ week delivery. Our next milestones are as follows: Return home within the next few day and continue our journey to 28 weeks. When all goes well we have a new milestone of 32 weeks and then 36+. Dr. Berry conveyed that anything over 30 weeks is great progress and that we should focus our energy on getting to that point.
So we are doing well and looking forward to getting through the next 48 hrs with no infection and limited contractions. Dana is awesome and is a tough women who is on a mission. I admire her strength and resolve to make this family a reality. I love her more each day and thank God he has blessed my life with her love. Please know we will try to return everyone's calls but the next day or two will be busy for us so please understand that we all appreciate your support. I ask we hold off on visitors for the next day or two so Dana can focus on her recovery and rest.
As always please continue to keep us in your prayers.
