This is the blog for Gavin and Carrie Jones and family. We live in Papua New Guinea and are working to see lives transformed by the living Word of God through Bible translation. Gavin is a helicopter pilot. Carrie, who has her degree in Public Health, works in the lab at our busy rural clinic. Our son, Isaac, was born in 2004 and our quintuplets, Will, David, Marcie, Seth, and Grace, were born in 2012.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. The you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. -Proverbs 3:3-6

Maybe not so short . . .

This morning, the Doctor (and Carrie) agreed that it is best that she stay in the hospital.  She's slightly dilated (more than last night) and so they have just put her on some different drugs to help ease any contractions.  It looks like we may be in the hospital now for the long haul.  The dilations and contractions are not highly concerning and the doctor feels that Carrie and the babies will be just fine for a while.

They've just put in the medicine for the contractions and it is working quite obviously-- the monitor shows no contractions at all right now.

I think we both expected for her to stay home a bit longer than this, but it really isn't too much of a surprise.  We are thankful for the doctors and nurses here who are so helpful and eager, as we are, to keep these babies in the pressure cooker as long as possible.

Thank you so much for all the prayers-- we're swimming in them and it's great!

Gavin
