From the Hospital
So we are now in our second home, Baptist Hospital in Nashville. We "checked in" on Tuesday, November 24. The doctors are saying we have pre-eclampsia. They are closely monitoring my blood pressure and protein output. Right now the blood pressure is pretty much under control but when I stay out of bed too long it spikes. The protein is still very high. We made it to 24 weeks this past Saturday which is a milestone. The doctors say the chances of baby delivering and surviving after 24 weeks goes up. So each day and week from here is a blessing. We hope that my body can last as long as possible thru this preeclampsia. They say it will be getting streadily worse. At some point, they may have to induce labor if we get bad. I really pray we can make it past 28 weeks.
