Kara was readmitted to the hospital at 3am this morning and is being treated for postpartum preeclampsia. While rare, this is becoming more common as women don't get to stay in the hospital as long after birth. She is getting magnesium which will hopefully help her headache, blood pressure, swelling, and other ailments. Kara will be getting treatments for 24 hours and then they will want to monitor for another day or so. She is working hard to get better and see her little angel.
Nina had two trips to the clinic herself for her jaundice. Despite being a trooper and not crying at either blood-drawing, Nina made sure to cry and yell at the nurse who treated Kara so poorly yesterday. Nina is doing better and her jaundice is expected to be gone soon, and she can't wait for mommy to join her in good health.
Oh, wow - keeping Kara and the family in my thoughts and prayers. Hopefully Kara will be well and home soon!
