If left untreated, both mother and child could die. The only cure for eclampsia is delivery of the baby. We’re doing tests to determine the lung maturity of the baby. At thirty-four weeks’ gestation, the child has a very good chance of survival without complications.” Ryan dug a hand into his hair and closed his eyes. He’d done this to her. She should have been cherished and pampered during her entire pregnancy. She should have been waited on hand and foot. Instead she’d been forced to work a physically demanding job under unimaginable stress. And once he’d brought her back, she’d been subjected to scorn and hostility and endless emotional distress. Was it any wonder she wanted to wash her hands of him and his family? “Will…will Kelly be all right? Will she recover from this?” He didn’t realize he held his breath until his chest began to burn. He let it out slowly and forced himself to relax his hands. “She’s gravely ill. Her blood pressure is extremely high. She could seize again or suffer a stroke. Neither is good for her or the baby. We’re doing everything we can to bring her blood pressure down and we’re monitoring the baby for signs of stress. We’re prepared to take the baby if the condition of either mother or child deteriorates. It’s important she remain calm and not be stressed in any way. Even if we’re able to bring down her blood pressure and put off the delivery until closer to her due date, she’ll be on strict bed rest for the remainder of her pregnancy.” “I understand,” Ryan said quietly. “Can I see her now?” “You can go in but she must remain calm. Don’t do or say anything to upset her.” Ryan nodded and turned to walk the few steps to Kelly’s room. He paused at the door, afraid to go in. What if his mere presence upset her? His hand rested on the handle and he leaned forward, pressing his forehead to the surface. He closed his eyes as grief and regret—so much regret—swamped him.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Maya Banks" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/maya-banks/the-doctor-gave-him-a-look-of-sympathy-we-won-t-have-a-choice-if-left/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/cdb/maya-banks-617_blood-pressure_the-doctor-gave-him-a-look-of-sympathy-w_674740.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/cdb/maya-banks-617_blood-pressure_the-doctor-gave-him-a-look-of-sympathy-w_674740.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/cdb/maya-banks-617_blood-pressure_the-doctor-gave-him-a-look-of-sympathy-w_674740.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The doctor gave him a look of sympathy. “We won’t have a choice.

Her hands flew automatically to her belly and she was only partially reassured to feel the tight ball there. Was her baby okay? Was she herself okay? She blinked harder to bring the room more into focus. There was light shining through a crack in the bathroom door. A glance at the blinds told her that it was dark outside. Then her gaze fell on the chair beside her bed and she found Ryan staring at her, his gaze intense. She flinched away from the raw emotion shining in his blue eyes. “Hey,” he said quietly. “How are you feeling?” “Numb,” she answered before she could think better of it. “Kind of blank. My head doesn’t hurt anymore. Are my feet still swollen?” He carefully picked up the sheet and pushed it over her feet. “Maybe a little. Not as bad as they were. They’ve been giving you meds and they’re monitoring the baby.” “How is she?” Kelly asked, a knot of fear in her throat. “For now, she’s doing fine. Your blood pressure stabilized, but they might have to do a C-section if it goes back up or if the baby starts showing signs of distress.” Kelly closed her eyes and then suddenly Ryan was close to her, holding her, his lips pressed against her temple. “Don’t worry, love,” he murmured. “You’re supposed to stay calm. You’re getting the best possible care. I’ve made sure of it. They’re monitoring you round-the-clock. And the doctor said the baby has an excellent prognosis at thirty-four weeks’ gestation.” She sagged against the pillow and closed her eyes. Relief pulsed through her but she was so tired she couldn’t muster the energy to do anything more than lie there thanking God that her baby was okay. “I’m going to take care of you, Kell,” Ryan said softly against her temple. “You and our baby. Nothing will ever hurt you again. I swear it.” Tears burned her eyelids. She was emotionally and physically exhausted and didn’t have the strength to argue. Something inside her was broken and she had no idea how to fix it. She felt so…disconnected.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Maya Banks" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/maya-banks/then-the-events-leading-up-to-her-collapse-came-back-to-her-in-a/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d2c/maya-banks-617_blood-pressure_then-the-events-leading-up-to-her-collap_1104394.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d2c/maya-banks-617_blood-pressure_then-the-events-leading-up-to-her-collap_1104394.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d2c/maya-banks-617_blood-pressure_then-the-events-leading-up-to-her-collap_1104394.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Then the events leading up to her collapse came back to her in a flash.
