Doing ok for now!

It's about 5:30 pm here in Japan and I just got back from the hospital. I was there since this morning. I will go back again a little later this evening. Luckily the Hospital is very close to my home here. My wife is still in stable condition however her blood pressure has not dropped. She got very nauseous last night and is having a hard time keeping food down. The medicne they are giving her to lower her Blood Pressure contains a lot of magnesium which not only gives her a head ache but also contributes to the nausea. It is sometimes a bit of a struggle to breathe for her but not extremely. The swelling in her legs has gone down so that is a positive sign, but the doctors are still aiming for a C section tommorow sometime. I snuck a mikan (mandarin orange) in to my wife today and I got to see her smile for the first time in a while. I think it was good for her. Well, I will get a quick nap in and then head back to the hospital. I would like to sincerely thank all of the people who left nice messages for me. I really appreciate it. I have forwarded all of those to my wife as well.

A lot has happened in the time since I last visited your blog. My thoughts are with your family too.

I read all this and see my potential self, a couple years down the road. Plus, I think of my sister, who had an emergency C-section 6 months ago. The collective stress amongst all parties involved could fracture Mt Fuji, but its shocking how fast you'll forget it just a couple months from now. Glad you have the blog to get stuff out of your system; I only hope I could mirror the way you're handling it. (Communication is key!) My best wishes to you and your family

Thanks everyone! It appears as though things are on an upward swing. It will all depend onthe operation tomorrow. My wife and I both thank you for your concern.
