Her husband works daylight till dark and she can't be alone during those hours. Her heart races uncontrollably and she's weak, faint and sick. She's a hair from bedrest. The dr. has already ordered her on "rest". I'm sorry I didn't explain that. Yes, she does have to have someone manage for her quite a bit. Further, in all of this she's not supposed to get highly stressed???

Yep, she has to have someone manage and also help her with managing her emotions. We're working on that right now as well. We've ordered relaxation tapes and are looking into therapy for her to learn relaxation for her body and mind.

It's just hard all the way around. It was explained to me that alot of her emotions were across the top specifically due to the physical conditions and will calm but it might take quite a while and they might not until after the pregnacy where she have additional treatment. She's already lost 17 lbs. as well.

So, while I have professionals telling me that most to all of this is physical (especially since it wasn't her norm prior and with the physical issues, meds, etc. that's been going on). I know that she can't help a great deal of this, but nonetheless is what she has to deal with and manage to the best of her ability. That's where we're at now. Reading, asking, finding out as much as we can to help her manage this as it continues and until it's stablized.

I so understand what you're saying, Perna. My oldest was able to fly quite successfully with mama standing in the background. This child was WELL on her way and getting ready to enter college when all this began...with mama in the background. Trust me, with raising little man, I'd love to be in the background and see her doing well.

When she's being ugly, I do put the stoppers in and she checks herself. Sometimes it's hard for me not to bite back, and hard. That's where it's causing me stress...so I'll be utilizing the relaxtion CD's as well.

It just "is" right now and it's hard...

Thank you so much, Perna.
