K Update

So we went to see K in the hospital last night. She is hiding her feelings well. She did admit she was depressed and scared, but didn't act like it after a few minutes. I can only imagine the fear she has. Wow! Basically her water broke. She's a little over 25 weeks along. Right now there is still fluid around the baby's head (sorta like a halo), so unless that goes the baby is safe for the time being. She's allowed to go to the bathroom and that is it. She tried to take a shower yesterday but got another "gush" so she won't be doing that too often either. She also said next time she bathes it will be sitting down. Sometime yesterday afternoon she turned to brown blood, which is always a good sign. She's hoping to keep the baby in for another 6 weeks, but I'm not sure she'll make it that long. She knows it's being pretty optomistic, too. We'll see. They come in twice a day and get her hooked up to all the machines to see if she's having contractions or in distress or anything.

My guess: I look for her to have it by the end of March by c-section. She has a diaper that is about the size of a post-it note (maybe smaller). Can you freaking imagine? I know my previous boss's DIL just went through it last summer and the baby is doing excellent, but wow!

She's in a great hospital 10 minutes from me, but the bad thing is that she's 45 min-1 hour away from the rest of the family. Her husband works 1 hour in the opposite direction so for him to see her after work it's a 2 hour drive to her and 1 hour home. He's coming up every other day. So far her mom (my stepmom) has been up every day and probably will continue at least for a while. And to call any of them it's long distance and she's already out of minutes on her phone for the month! How boring is that? She isn't in to doing crafty things or crosswords or scrapbooking. I can't think of anything to take her to give her something to do in the hospital except coloring books! Any suggestions???
