Off To The Hospital...

Jessica Here...
First off, let me reassure everyone and let you all know that Karen sounds perfectly fine, very calm, and very "Karen-like" :) Any of us that know Karen in real life know her penchant for keeping cool in crazy situations... Hence her calm demeanor this evening!
Anyway, after talking to the Momma herself this evening, she's doing well. They've admitted her because of her possible pre-eclamptic issues. The tests that were run a few days ago, showed slightly elevated liver enzymes which along with high blood pressure, usually indicate issues with pre-eclampsia. So, for right now, she's there for observation purposes only... There are no definitive plans as to what they're going to do right now. We chatted for a bit and she laid out the three distinct possibilities:
1. The MD's come back tomorrow and decide on a delivery time. (eeek!)
2. The MD's come in and decide that the pre-eclampsia is not progressing and send her on home.
3. The MD's come in and decide to sit on her and the babes for the duration...
Tomorrow at twilight marks the start of one of the larger holidays for Karen and her Family, so of course, hanging at the hospital (while not fun) might be the most practical of the options... I'm really hoping they don't just send her home... But hey, Doctor's know best right?? :) On that thread of thought also, the Terbutaline pump that Karen has been using to keep the contractions at bay? It has been discontinued... The Doctors see a connection between pre-eclampsia and terb, so no more of that for now! I was reassured to hear that she was still taking some Procardia, but was unfortunately a little uncomfortable regardless... On the upside, they're 32 weeks tomorrow...
I'll keep you all posted with information as it becomes available! Please keep them all in your thoughts!
