Jan, please don't think I've taken complete leave of my senses, but... I
remember several years ago reading about emersing the toxemic woman in H2O
such as a pool or bath to help the fluid move out of her tissues.  Of
course I can't remember when or where I read this, but it's worth a try.

I'm not sure how the swelling can be attributed to the pitocin if she was
being induced for pre eclampsia and was already holding fluids.  What's the
reasoning?  Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
