Good luck. I am sure she and the babe will be fine.

On a side note, this is what I am worried about with Mrs. MST. I live in NY and she is in Boston for a year. Things are going to get very complicated if she gets this.

My wife had Pre-Eclampsia and started having kidney failure at 30 weeks. She went in for normal checkup at 30 weeks...blood pressure was high so they admitted her for observation gave her a shot of celestone as a precaution for lung development of the baby and collected urine to test kidney function as part of the procedure. Told us she would be on bedrest for the remainder of the pregnancy. Her blood pressure came down and they told us that if her urine was ok we would be going home...ten minutes later they run in and put a gown on me and say we have to get the baby out now. The proteins in her urine were over 10,000 and they were extremely concerned. Baby boy born 10 weeks early at 2.5 lbs. Spent 10 weeks in NICU but he didn't need oxygen as lungs were working fine. Just had to grow. Now he is 9 and completely fine.
