Requesting Good Thoughts for AppleBaby

[AppleBiter]

So, I've been on bedrest since last Tuesday, which might explain why my posts have been so sparse and sporadic. I'm not *supposed* to sneak over to the computer, but I do every once in a while . . . like now.

In any event, I've had some blood pressure problems and the doctor thinks that I'm in the beginning stages of Preeclampsia (or "Toxemia"). I've been through a battery of tests since last Tuesday and spent a good portion of Black Friday hooked up to monitoring equipment at the hospital. Fun, fun.

Anyhow, yesterday, the SO and I were told that my blood pressure was borderline and that if it spiked, there was a risk that the placenta could detach and we could "lose the baby in a matter of 10 minutes." Seeing as how the baby is fully developed and healthy, for all intents and purposes, and also seeing as how he is decidedly too large to pass safely through the birth canal, we are scheduled to have him via c-section this Thursday, November 30th. As in 2 days from now.

We're excited, of course, but also very scared. So, please, lovely people of the AH, keep us in your thoughts, prayers, etc. Thank you.

Oh Apple, tons of good thoughts beaming your way.

Actually, you've been the subject of the usual kind of good thoughts from me ever since you appeared as a bright and shining blip on my radar screen with this touching post.

Hugs and best wishes, doll.



(Plus, we apple people need to stick together. )

Congratulations on the impending birth! My thoughts are with you.

You have my sympathy on the bedrest. I was on it for four weeks with the twins. It gets old (IE, BORING!) really fast.
