It does sound as if her doctors are active in doing what they can in her situation. Has she been referred to a hematologist at this point?
You mentioned that her medical team is going to induce labor at 37 weeks which means that she only has a few weeks more to carry her son. Are there plans to refer her to a blood specialist after she delivers?
You and your daughter (and her son) will certainly be in my thoughts (and prayers) during the next few weeks. Will you keep in touch and update Connect regarding her condition as time goes by?

She has been seeing a hematologist for the last two months. She was back at the ER late yesterday afternoon. Ran more tests and they believe what she is experiencing is a result of the IV treatments. Her OB/GYM doctor talked with her this morning before they discharged her and said it looks like they will go ahead and induce her on Monday. She said before they left, the monitored her son's heartbeat and said he is doing okay. What a roller coaster ride this has become. Thank you for your prayers.

Yes, a hematologist is part of her care team. She's awaiting the results of an EKG performed two hours ago. I will keep in touch and update you on her (and her son's) condition.
