Lots has happened since I last posted this. Quick rundown, wife was put on bedrest last Friday due to a blood clot and significant loss of amniotic fluid. Just got back from a repeat ultrasound and same thing, there is still a blood clot on the placenta but it looks a little bit smaller but the amniotic fluid is still considerably low. Bedrest still until next Monday with a ultrasound then to determine what to do from there, she is 15 weeks along so if this keeps up it will be a very long pregnancy.
aww bed rest sucks, i hope everything works out fine and you have a healthy happy baby in the end

Sooners, great news about the small sooner-to be. We have a Son with asthma when he was about two. The anabolic steroids saved his life along with the inhalants. Most of the meds aren't as bad as the steroids, they break down to caffeine in the blood which makes the heart beat a little faster and makes people hyperactive. The bronchiodilaters are all pretty much the same and are usually administered with a nebulizer but when they have to be hospitalized, the steroids have to be given intravenously which is much better. My boy had the stuff as bad as it gets and he is now 26 years old. He needed close care but we learned about how to handle it and it turned out alright. I say all this to let you know that the asthma is more trouble for your Wife than the baby and don't ever let anyone minimize the disease to you. Take care of her and the baby will be fine.
