Mrs. Joe just got back, and the hydration therapy is working too (not just water, but juice, too). They (mom and dad and the twins) are on their way to Texas in the morning, to one of the doctors listed on the website for the laser procedure.
Good, sounds like they are in very good hands! One last note and then I’ll quit bending your ear. She should be wary of too much juice, since you can develop gestational diabetes late in pregnancy (or early, as I did — no fun!! No extra sugar for most of my pregnancy). And the diabetes can pop up rather suddenly (though I’m sure they are giving her pee tests every time she turns around, what with the other things going on). Best to water down the juice or not drink too much of it.
Again, very best wishes and prayers. Please update us.
