Tom Simpson and the Raiders of the Lost Blog

So on Friday at her regular visit to her doctor, Chris was found to have a high level of a protein, FFN, which is an indicator that early labor is beginning.  Her doctor called us in Jersey and we had to drive in to NYU hospital to have Chris admitted.  They wanted to hook her up to monitors to see if she was having contractions, and then if she was, to treat them.

Chris was having irregular contractions, so we began treatment.  They held her until Sunday at the hospital.  Additionally they were worried that if the baby was born prematurely that its lungs wouldn’t be fully developed.  So they gave her two steriod injections which will help the baby’s lungs tremendously.

The contractions responded to the treatment, so she was able to be released on Sunday.  She’ll be staying home now on bed rest for the next two weeks, and potentially until the delivery.  For now, our goal is just getting as many weeks as we can along before delivery.

Check out the full casting news here. It’s an animated version of the Dragonlance series of books. I always loved the books, although I’m not sure if Keifer’s voice is raspy enough for Raistlin.  Plus how will he do a complete movie without shouting “Tell me where the bomb is!” or “Who do you work for?!”
