As most of you know heather has been having lots of problems with contractions bleeding and retarted doctors well... Yet another problem occured tonight. Swelling. It started a lil thismorning after taking her shoes off because she said her feet were hot. Then I noticed as the day went on it got worse and worse now you can barely see her ankles and her feet are "fat" and its really bad even though ive made her lay on her bed with her feet up after we ate dinner. I dont know what that a sign of but this is the first time she has had swelling so idk, also some of oyu may have known that I have been here at heathers house sense last wed. But I am going back home tommaro because I have to work at noon Sad so this is really gonna suck leaving heather when shes always having contractions and stuff and I cant be there when she is having problems:(Sad but thats the way it has to be cause I cant move in and she cant move out cause her mom(no need for details...) if anyone thinks they know whats going on with the swelling feel free to let us know heather may be on later tonight around 10ish to see if there are any responses -ryan, heather, and mackenzie

Call a doc! It could be just from the heat or it could be a sign of pre-eclampsia! What with her weekend hospital stay and her contractions now, id say call a doc cuz she needs that baby out now!!!!!
