Deborah Olar's Argumentative Essay

Deborah Olar, my oldest sister, was pregnant with a girl and diagnosed with mild preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is when the mother’s blood pressure increases and when there’s an increase of protein in the urine. Also, where your kidneys start to fail slowly. Also, where as she did, gain 5 pounds in only water every week. For example, in ten weeks she gained 50 pounds. A marshmallow she was, or as she would call herself a rolie polie! Her feet were inflated to 3 times bigger than her regular 7-½ feet. So when you would poke her feet it would take at least 6 seconds for her skin to pop back up in place. That’s because all of the water

The baby already stayed too long in Deborah’s canal. That’s something where the baby goes through to get out of there and unto the world. At this point, I learned that pushing takes a whole entire other process. So everyone got in their place, and then the pushing started.

Then, the doctors stated to us that the only thing we could do is wrap her arm, and therapy, which really didn’t help much! Both the newborn and mother were in much pain. But the fact that her shoulder bone was broken, really broke and hurt Abigail’s moms’ heart
