More relax time is good :)

Oh no! I am so sorry to heart that! Being in the constant high end of things (blood pressure, that is), despite dangerously high doses of medication to "try" and control it, I know what it's all about and don't wish it upon anyone. EVER. Though I am glad that her doctor is keeping a close watch by seeing her again in two weeks. And it's sad that your trip is canceled but gotta say it's for the absolute best. Any little thing will trigger the tension to rise; rather surprising and sometimes unbelievable!

I do hope she's getting plenty of rest ... lying on her left side. Have they put her on medication? Is she stuck with lots of swelling? Have they stopped her from work altogether? Got a recent ultrasound done? If so, is the baby ok size-wise or smaller? Sorry for all the questions. I'm just so deep into all this right now so I can't help but wonder and worry. I will be thinking about her and sending her positive vibes. For you too, friend.

Never hesitate to call JF or myself if ever there is a need. Even just to chat. ;o)
