MONDAY Nov 16

Well...Kristi is still at the hospital.
She's still in pain. She's off the morphine drip but getting pain meds through her IV (shot). She can't go very long without the pain meds and I really don't know how she is going to make it with just an oral medication.

There's a new potential complication...pre-enclampsia. Back in the old days (that'd be my day) it was called toxemia, the technical term for pregnancy related high blood pressure. Her feet and arms are swelling but it hard to say if its that or the IV fluids. They have stopped the fluids as there could be serious consequences if it were to be pre-enclampsia...organ damage, liver burst...nothing good. So they will be testing her and the results won't be ready until Tues afternoon.

She appears to be ok. She gets "tipsy" when she first gets her meds but after some rest and food, she's communicates pretty good. Still don't see her being able to go home with this kind of pain.
