If she gets an infefction. THat is the reason for taking the temperature. If it goes above 100, she should call the Doctor.

and that if she's still carrying the baby in 6 >days (at 24 weeks) they'll admit her.

If something happens to the baby, they can do something about it then and have a chance at getting a live baby. before 24 weeks no matter what was done, they couldn't help the baby.

She needs a friend to come help her get through the day.

I'm confused as to why he doesn't. And >will the baby ever really be viable?

Viable means "Capable of surviving outside of the uterus" 24 weeks is the earliest that we think there is any likelihood of this. The longer the baby stays in the uterus, the better its chances.
