Crystal was admitted into St.David's Hospital in Georgetown Texas around four a.m. She was at that time diagnosed with sever pneumonia. Once admitted she was started on an oxygen mask and the baby was monitored. At 6:00 pm they began to prep her for transfer to St.David's Main in Austin. When she arrived at the hospital they immediately intubated so that they could start her on 100% oxygen. We were then told that she had developed a disease known as Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. She was placed in the Intensive Care Unit, a nurse continued to watch them around the clock, monitoring everything that occurred. We were told at that time that the odds of her surviving this were 40%. Because she is a young woman her chances of recovering were increased but being pregnant decreased those chances. It was basically a waiting game at this point. The entire time Crystal was teetering on the brink her little body was preserving that baby perfectly. Her little heart beat stayed strong at around 150 most of the time.
