Prayer request for my pregnant wife
This may be premature or an overreaction, but my wife went in for a routine OBGYN appointment today for a pregnancy checkup and they told her that her blood pressure is way too high. They sent her upstairs to triage for further testing and is still up there now waiting for a room to open up. I'm preparing to leave work as we speak.
This is especially scary because she's been experiencing severe swelling in her feet and extremities. It's true that it could be a number of things, or even nothing, but signs could be pointing to Preeclampsia, which could possibly be fatal to both mother and child.
I haven't told many people this, but I lost my grandmother over the weekend, and my spirits aren't very high right now. I could use some prayers for my wife and daughter for their health.
Thank you in advance.

you got it, stopping what I'm doing now
Re: Prayer request for my pregnant wife
Thanks guys. I'm sitting at work all packed up and ready to go if I'm needed. I was told not to come unless I get the word to do so.
Re: Prayer request for my pregnant wife
She's still waiting to be seen, so I'm taking that as a good sign. I figure if they were truly worried, they'd rush her in without waiting.

Prays.. Being a new father. I couldn't even imagine
Re: Prayer request for my pregnant wife
The first baby is always the scariest. You have a high likelihood that everything is, or will be, just fine.
Be very happy you're in Houston, and in the year 2015.

Prayers going out for mother, daughter and you!!
Re: Prayer request for my pregnant wife
They are keeping her in the hospital at least overnight because her blood pressure is so high. I am here now. As far as the baby, everything looks ok other than she's very small. 6th percentile in size right now. Preparations are being made in case she needs to deliver now or very soon.
She will get a steroid injection and have to take oral steroids to aid in the development of Dylan's lungs

Alright guys, seems like for now it's just observation for the rest of the night. They're collecting urine for the next 24 hours. She sent me home to tend to the dog and bring food back for her. I'll probably stay up there with her until 9 or so.
Not out of the woods yet.
