Pre-Ecclampsia

This is the only place I can get to from the hossy computer to update, so here's all I know for now:

I got admitted for pre-ecclampsia this morning (12 lb weight gain in 5 days, high BP, & a bunch of other pre-e symptoms). I'm here at least until tomorrow & we won't know for sure what's up til then unless things go south fast (which we're told can happen with pre-e). We just got labs back & so far my liver & kidney function are in normal ranges, which is good news & means the pre-e probably isn't progressing super fast right now. The boys are doing well. It's just a mattter of figuring out how long we can safely keep them before we have to deliver at this point, since the only cure for pre-e is delivery. I'll update when I can, but for now please keep my guys in your thoughts & prayers. Thanks!!
