Hi:
Wanted to let my friends here know what;s up. I came home Tuesday night to find Marni laying on the floor by the bed with blood dried on her face around her mouth. She had what is known as eclampsia, which is when the body starts to reject the baby and has symptoms of very high blood pressure and siezures. Marni had a siezure and I don't have any idea how long she was laying on the bed.
I carried her down to her ZJ and drove to Sutter Roseville, where they diagnosed her. They immediately transferred her to Sutter Memorial which has one of the best risk pregnancy and NICU departments in the country. At 6:30 in the AM it was determined that they needed to perform an emergency c-section in order to save both of their lives. It was surreal and nothing can prepare you for this situation. Marni was only 27 weeks (out of 40). Before I knew it they had her open and pulled out the tiniest little girl (1 pound 12 oz). It was amamzing wathing the doctors go to work stabilizing Emma (her name).
Marni is still recovering. Emma is off the respirator but has to stay in NICU for about 2 months. All in all, we were told by several nurses and doctors that it was a miracle that we have a viable daughter and that my wife will likely have a full recovery (she had some damage to her brain from the siezure).
If anything this drives home the point that God is in charge and we have angels doing some serious work out there.
Thought I would share.

Marni should be home from hospital sometime next week. I think my wheeling in 2003 will be VERY limited.
