Before I was born my mother had a rather bad miscarriage and lost a close to full term baby boy due to eclampsia.  She does not remember to much about this so most of my info about this period comes from my father - my mother almost lost her life.
so when I came across http://www.engenderhealth.org/ I decided to blog about it.

You see this is not really an health issue for most American women, but it is a killer in the developing world.  The medication to treat this is rather simple and cheap - magnesium sulfate.  Here is the catch - because it is simple and cheap drug manufactures are not inclined to make or sell to the extent necessary - see the profit margin is just not there.

Perfect example of capitalism feeding on itself.

anyway, check out the article on eclampsia at

...life can be rather amusing :)

We now have all testing finished and it shows nothing - they all came back normal.  So we are going back to our regular routine, we have begun to do so anyway.
So I guess his "collapse" (see past blog posts) was a one time event due to something rather simple. 

He has been working out, and playing softball without any issues.  His team may even with their division this year for a change.

This is too close to call.
My father use to tell me stories of a spider named Anansi, who is derived from West African folklore.  He got into all kinds of trouble from trying to capture all knowledge and horde it to challenging animals much bigger than he was.
The other is the legend from the Devi Mahatmyam, the demon Mahisasura defeats the male gods of Indian folklore and kicks them out of heaven, to liberate their heavenly domain a female goddess Durga Devi was created.   Always thought it was neat story for a young girl to hear that beauty, power and physical strength were not an unfeminine combination.
