Subject: So-so news about the Smith twins
This is NOT a music thread but I think you'll see why I couldn't possibly label this as "BS". A bunch of people have asked me to keep them informed so here goes :

As of yesterday my wife's doctor ordered her to bed for the rest of the pregnancy. It's a gravity problem - not her blood pressure - so we all have hopes that this will turn out alright. Her due date keeps getting shorter however. The doctor was originally talking about the first week of February and now we're hearing around Christmas or New Years. Both of the boys seen to be OK but they are light in weight { taking after their Mom - NOT their Dad }.

What also had us worried was to be without her paycheck for a long period of time. But thank goodness her company will outfit her with a laptop computer and her doctor says that it's OK that she works from her bed. Her bedroom office should be set up by tomorrow. Thats something that we won't have to worry about. Some big companies are actually nice.

This is not a dire emergency and there is no reason to panic but we plan to be VERY careful and err on the side of caution. At least she'll be able to catch up on the reading that she says she's behind on.

If you are the type to believe in a higher power of ANY sort I wouldn't turn down a few prayers right now. If you're not a higher power kind of person and you just come here for the music feel free to send a lullaby or two out into the night { or day } so that Bretta and the boys - Brendan and Patrick - rest well and grow strong. Thankyou for your time and indulgence - Wesley Smith
