I got in touch with Foxfire finally by phone after she disappeared for a week. She spent almost a week in hospital with Pre term labor. Mag sulfate IV to finally stop the contractions. She is home now and preparing to move from Virginia to Connecticut the day before Thanksgiving. (her hubby is in Coast Guard and being transferred so they can be closer to family)
She is not on any tocolytics because she has low blood pressure. The drive for the move is about 9 hours. She contracts upon walking around so she will be reclining in the car with husband. She has been on very strict bedrest, can't even get downstairs to the computer! Hopefully will borrow a laptop in CT. Her son's grandparents are taking him so it will just be her and hubby on the drive.
Let's keep her in our thoughts and prayers for this move. She has a list of hospitals along the way. They considered moving her by mediflight, but think her cervix is stable. She had ALOT of contractions and it still held up. She is 26 weeks. She did get betamethasone shots while in the hospital.

Foxfire and her family will definatly be in my prayers. I know how hard PTL is and I know how hard moving is and I can't even begin to imagine moving with PTL.
Please keep us updated if you can!

How scary! I wondered how she was doing with the move and all. Hope it goes smoothly and it will be a relief to be closer to family.

We will send good wishes her way!!
