Hi Pat!
Both of my sons were placenta previa babies! My now 6yo son's condition corrected itself---but not in time for the WDW trip DH had planned for me, and we, too, had to cancel a WDW trip for that reason!
My now 4yo went the distance with the previa, and was delivered C-section as soon as he could breathe unassisted.
We had scares with both of them, and THEY ARE BOTH PERFECT!!!!!! I pray for your whole family! Keep the faith.

Lots more prayers and pixie dust coming your way!!!
I had the same thing, plus a bad gallbladder that they didn't want to take out until after our daughter was born. I was on bedrest for 8 of the 9 months. My hubby made sure I had lots of things to do to keep my mind off of things, which really helped. Things like the computer, puzzles, games, lots of dvds. I had a double wammy tho, couldn't eat hardly anything, due to the gallbladder. The only thing I could really keep down for the 9 months was tomato juice.
They took her 3 weeks early, but she was very healthy. She was a little small, but in great shape otherwise. She's now going to be 3 years old.
Just think positive thoughts and things will work out just fine!!!!

Hi Folks,
I've come home for the night to get some things for what looks like an extended stay at the hospital and logged on quickly. To say I am stunned is an insult to the word stunned. In addition to those kind words here, my PM box is stuffed to capacity.
I'm particularly grateful to those with happy tales of "premmies" who are happy, healthy, and enjoying life. Obviously at moments like these, you search for the best, yet sit and simmer on the worst like a bad stew. And while my respect for the medical expertice of the new millenium is extreme, the cover-our-butt-by-telling-you-the-worst-that-can-happen mentality of modern malpractice insurance had me doing a slow burn. How nice to hear stories of hope.
I'd also like to extend a comment to those that expressed interest in the hotel. Amazingly, Priceline has agreed to refund our money, minus a small service charge. I'm grateful to those that suggested this tact, I wasn't even going to try. But those that answered my post all expressed guilt at the thought of capitalizing on my misfortune. That is misplaced. Know that while I'm happy to somehow scrape a few hundred bucks off the floor, my second choice and what would leave me at peace with the whole missing-Disney thing would be that someone would be there having fun for me. Fun, like energy, isn't meant to be created or destroyed. If it sits in limbo, it's not doing anyone any good, especially me. So thank you, thank you to those that expressed interest. I regret I had to retract my offer, but that money will be well-used now buying hotel space next to the medical facility.
To those from Hershey offering a hand if we were at the HMC, Thank YOU so much. It's so nice to hear from fellow Pennsylvanians. Hershey was actually our choice, as versus Danville, where we'd had some bad experiences with "customer service issues" in the past. However, our OB, who we trust with our heart and soul, said personal issues aside, the place we need to be right now is the Danville Neonatal ICU. And there we'll be.
The update is foggy, but mother and daughter are stabile, if nothing else. There's still things in the ultrasound that are scaring the crap out of us, but the "mini-contractions" have stopped, as has most of the bad bleeding. At this point, our obvious goal is to keep Amy still and horizontal until we can get to that glorious week 28. when the odds take a major jump. Amy's running a blood pressure of 110/60, and the fetal heartrate is running 150 to 160. To those that don't know, these are the kinds of signs we desperately need to see.
I wish I could answer everyone that wrote personally, and perhaps sometime in the next month I'll at least answer my PM's. For now, for therapy's sake if nothing else I'll keep you updated. I've always enjoyed talking to all of you about fun and fantasy, but I'm also relieved I have you to lean on for real life.
And believe me, each prayer is put in my pocket and taken out every hour. Bless you all.

I'm sending you lots of prayers and PD for you and your family. I wish you all the best. Keep the faith!! God Bless!!
You're one of my favorite people on this board. I was saddened by your e-mail and I hope that mom, baby, and dad are all doing well. This is your first child, right? Lots of hugs coming from St. Clair Shores, Michigan! 
My prayers are also with you and your wife and baby daughter. I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes as I type this praying that God will see you through this difficult time and that your prayers for a healthy baby will be answered.
I will be at WDW June 7-13 and will definitely think of you when I'm at the AC at PI on Sunday night.
God Bless!

Pat, I'm coming upon this thread late but wanted to add my prayers and good thoughts to those already offered here. It sounds like your wife is having the best of care and I pray things will only continue to improve.
I'm so glad to hear you were able to work out a deal with Priceline.
Please keep us posted when you can.
