My sister called today and said that she has preeclampsia and they are wanting to induce her. She is hoping to make it until Monday or Wednesday so that she can be over 36 weeks. She is due 10 days before me. Please say a prayer for her that baby is ok and that her lungs are developed enough. They wanted to go ahead and induce her today, she just wanted to wait a few more days. So the doctor put her on complete bedrest until Monday and if she has any changes she is to report back to the hospital immediately. She's so scared and nervous right now. If you could just spare a quick prayer for her today that would be much appreciated.
Her hospital is over 3 hours away from me, so I don't know if I could make it there to be with her either. I may go next weekend after she is born. It's hard being away.
I was really hoping that she would go a few more weeks, but it doesn't look like its going to happen. This also means that I am the only one in my immediate family to ever carry a baby full-term. We've had a 17 weeker (passed) 24 weeker (she passed away), 32 weeker, 34 weeker and now a 35-36 weeker. I just feel like we've had our share of NICU's and was hoping we would get a break with me and my sister. :(

I am sure your sister and her baby will be fine - such a pity she's got this added stress and worry.
[big hugs]
