Karen Barton is in the hospital.

wanted to encourage Karen with a little "push

Thank you everyone. The situation is that the baby is smaller than the doctor thinks it should be at this stage. Vitals are fine and all the body parts are developing normally. Google says that this is not a problem. The doctor has confined Karen to bed and have her on a couple painful IVs I guess to pump nutrients into her bloodstream. She is physically fine, the baby is dancing constantly, heartbeat is strong. Just anxious and nervous.

Karen said to tell all of you thank you so very much! And I thank you as well.

Glad to hear the positive developments, John, just wanted to encourage Karen with a little "push." :smile: Aloha

This is an easier way to get the message out. My wife is in the hospital for a week dealing with a fetal development issue. Many of you have been dealing with her and she could use some encouragement right now.

If you want to send Karen a note you can do it to karen@jbideas.com

She is still working on orders and the like and the issue isn't life threatening or anything. But she is two months from her due date and any kind of issue is emotionally trying.

Thanks.

I did not know that you are married. My ignorance.
I Wish her for speedy and full recovery.

Karen might get to go home tomorrow if all checks out on the ultrasound. She is going stir-crazy spending about 23 hours a day in bed. On another note the hospital has an automated parking garage that is pretty neat. It looks to be about ten stories high or higher. You drive up to an open bay the door opens, you drive in and get out and run the card over the reader and it takes your car away. Later you wave the card over the reader again and it brings it back just like a valet you don't have to tip.

I know of these types of parking garages but I had never used one. Now two three times a day and it works pretty painlessly. I predict that the company making them has a bright future in China.

Again, thank you so so so much to everyone here and on Facebook and again to those of you who sent Karen encouraging notes. She was so distraught and upset at the beginning of the week and the outpouring from you all really helped to soothe and reassure her. Some of you told her stories of your own hiccups during pregnancies and that your children came through and are healthy. We appreciate this community hugely and are glad to be a part of it.

Karen is always a bit embarrassed when we go to shows and people say that they are finally glad to meet her. I think though that she understands why I refer to AZB as my extended family and why I could never give it up. Many of you are part of her family now too and we thank you.

Best to all of you,

John and Karen

Well good. Let's get this behind us so we can start fighting again!

Seriously, best wsihes - sounds like all is going well and we will trust the medical world to do it's thing.
