Too Much Of A (Not So) Good Thing

(28w4d, Hospital Day 12)
I remain on the antepartum unit.
And the triplets remain inside Womb-Thing.
But OOOOOEEEEEE, was it a close one this morning.

My repeat 24 hour urine showed severe proteinuria (7gm) which was approximately 20 times worse than when I was admitted last week. Dr. M walked in this morning clearly stating he was looking for a reason to deliver me today. If he found one other reason besides the proteinuria, it would be Happy Birthday to the triplets. The only reason I have yet to go under the knife is that everything else is stable.

So stable the doctors seem a bit perplexed.
Clearly they don't know me well :-). I am not known for following the "expected" path.
With proteinuria this severe developing over such a short time, I would be expected have much more edema, worsening kidney function and worsening blood pressure along with possibly worsening liver function and decreased platelets. But... ummmm... I don't.

My systolic blood pressure remains in the 150's on the labetalol.

And the babies? They are thriving like champs. They look good on monitoring and on ultrasound all three have great amniotic levels (if low, it would indicate the placentas were not perfusing properly).

So where are we?
As soon as my blood pressure creeps back up into the 160's, the babies show any evidence of distress, or my morning labs show dropping platelets or worsening liver or kidney function... the jig is up.

Everyday counts!
