Good luck Erica!!!
I didn't get put on bed rest, but I'm not supposed to drive or do very much. I didn't get too sick (or faint) on the flight down to Florida and felt ok(ish), while there, but the flight back got delayed and I was stuck on the plane and was so sick when I got home, vomiting again and shaking badly and fainted at some point - I think yesterday morning, I'm so out of it I don't even know when. My blood pressure is like....86/52 or 54. If I drink 2.5 liters of water a day it might go up to 90/56.
Fran - maybe instead of a gift, or babysitting, you can offer to do your neighbor's laundry or bring her some home cooked meals? Or if you're running to the grocery store, stop by and ask if she needs anything? Most women aren't going to call you if you say "call if you need something" but if you stop by all ready to do and ask, she'll be more likely to say "oh yeah can you pick up milk and bread for me" or if you call and say "I'm doing laundry at 3pm, can I stop by and pick up a load to wash for you?" you'll be helping a ton.
