Steve,
I sure hope you and Lady D. will be doing much better soon. When my wife, Karen was pregnant with our daughter Laura she had some very bad times. I had to rush her to the ER about 9 times. The Dr's. and nurses got to know us by our first names we were there so many times. About 4 of those times they even brought out the "TERMINATE PREGNANCY' machine. Scared the hell outa me and Karen. The final trip to ER was in her 7th month, and the Dr. said we want to keep her here. Karen spent the next 25 days in the hospital without being able to get out of bed. The Dr's. had allways said that it would have to be a C Section birth. Three days before Christmas I was called at work to come to the hospital. The C sect. was done and our daughter Laura greeted us with a bunch of loud crying. She was born 1 month premature, so small I could hold her in one hand, about 5 lbs 13 oz., but in good health, then the hospital called to say she had joundice. Well she came through things fine and so did Karen. We left the hospital on New Years day. Laura was allways small, usually smaller that her friends. It was that way until a couple of years ago, then she started to get tall. She is as tall her mom now. She is 13 now and a cheerleader for her school football and still growing.
So, Hang in there you guys, things will get better. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Stay Well
Rick S. & Laura (she is watching me type this message)
