Update!
As of today, Helen's home!
What?! Yeah, I said the same thing.
Apparently, our doctor did a ferny test where they analyze the leaking fluid. If it looks like a fern, it's amniotic fluid. Hence, the "ferny" test. Well, the test was done and was found to NOT be amniotic fluid.
When asked why the on call doctor did not do this test, he was unable to give an answer. But the on call doctor felt that he had sufficient evidence to not have to do the test.
Was he wrong? Maybe.
While it is rare, it's not unheard of for rupture to actually seal up by themselves. Or it might not have been an actual leak in the first place. Or, we've been really really blessed.
Even though she's home she's still needs to be on bed rest. And we are going to need weekly doctor visits and regular ultrasounds from here on out.
But we're happy to have Helen home and she's happy to be home.
Thanks for everyone help and concern, we'll keep you posted as things progress.
