February 24 - Day 18

Had the Internet been working here at the hospital today, I might have had this post up earlier. I'm not pointing any fingers. Steve, can we count on having a signal when Ginny delivers or should I make sure I have my wireless card?


Mostly status quo today. Protein level has increased to 417, but doctors still are not concerned. Its seems that even at 500 they will not induce labor, unless there are other worrisome symptoms. Siobhan (Ginny's BF and a neonatal nurse practitioner here a Stony Brook) says she delivered a baby whose mom had a protein level of 1200. BP and other preeclampsia symptoms have been stable. Some contractions, but nothing too strong or regular. The MRI of the brain came back "normal". The radiologist says brain density is consistent with observed stubbornness and not indicative of "abnormal" pathology. There is nothing he can do. I'm seeking a second opinion.


Ginny has been made a little more comfortable thanks to two big pillows and a steak dinner compliments of Aunt Marion. Still, she is eager to get out of here. Apparently, Collin is eager to get out as well:

    I love this blog. I look foward to hearing how Ginny is doing even though I speak with her several times a day. I like to hear what Joey has to say. (You've been very funny). The latest picture of Collin is unbelievable. I can't wait to meet him.

    I look forward to the blog updates every day. Yesterday's pictures of Collin were not too clear to me, but OMG, this picture is sooooo clear. I can't wait till he's here "in person". Tell LeeAnna that although he's a boy, I already think he looks like her!
