Plea for a donated Van

The high risk center just called to tell me that they got my results back from the 24 hr urine collection. They said there is elevated amounts of protein in my urine and I will be seeing a new DR at their facility twice per week for monitoring. I need to call tomorrow morning to begin scheduling those. They also said they were going to be checking fluid levels at those appointments, I guess that means a lot of ultrasounds?

Since I had them on the phone, I explained to them my fears about my leg and how I really felt the nurse from my regular OB's office wasn't taking me seriously. She sounded shocked that they told me to elevate and wait. She asked me a few questions and said she'd call me right back. She called me back and told me to go to a specific hospital's ER and register, that they will be expecting me this evening and they will do an ultrasound on my leg to make sure the blood is flowing properly and that there shouldn't be any wait unless there is an emergency in front of me before I get there.

I feel a lot better about that. Except now I have the whole pre-eclampsia thing to deal with too. I have no idea what's in store for me next. Just when I start to dwell on how bad things are, they get worse. Go figure.

Hubby will be home soon and then it's off to the ER. Please pray for me it's nothing and I've just been crazy over this for nothing. Or that if it is something that we caught it before it killed me, I guess. :/

With my appointments twice per week and my little one's speech therapy up to twice per week, I don't know how we can possibly survive with only one car. My husband is going to lose his job if he has to miss that much work, there is just NO WAY.

What can I do!?
