Hi,

I'm JB Peterson.  My subscription may be premature.  My daughter Laurie =
has been in hospital for a week now struggling with premature =
contractions.  She is in her 30th week of pregnancy.  The doctors are =
giving her magnesium something-or-other to control the contractions.  A =
fairly high dosage is required to do the job and there seems to be a =
very fine line between controlling the contractions and avoiding toxic =
levels of the magnesium whatever in her bloodstream.  Whenever an =
attempt is made to lower the dosage, the contraction interval drops very =
quickly.

I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has experienced a =
similar situation.  My email address is Tronjuan@sysubmc.bmc.com.

Regards,  JB
