Hospital Recap 8- Blood pressure rising a little

By -


Last night Heather's BP started rising.  She had a head ache and was a little queasy.  They gave her normal dose early then gave her another dose shortly after.  She is only on 100 mg  every 8 hrs and I know they can go as high as 600mg doses.  This morning her pb was high and morning should be the lowest point in the day.  They changed her dose to 200 every 6 hrs.  Heather has to wait until her bp goes down to have breakfast.  They are real cautious about giving her food in case she has to have a cesarean some time.  I was supposed to go home this morning and do some work and see the children.  The doctor said I should wait an hour to make sure her bp goes down first and her headache goes away.  They still have a lot more they can do to control her pb.

Last month we were leaving a football game and thought Evan had a seizure. He was slumped over, Cory picked him up he said it felt like he wasn't breathing. Evan than threw up all over and it seemed like he wasn't all there. We than ended up calling the doctor when we got home to see if we should take him to the hospital to get him checked out. We described what happened and how he was. he wasn't his self when Cory got him ready for a bath . After about an hour he was more like his normal self and they told us to keep an eye on him. I was able able to get him into his neurologist the next week and he thought we should get him back in to get another EEG. We should hopefully hear by the end of the week from the neurologist how the test went.  getting the wires off after sleeping

It has been crazy around, Everything from softball, to IEP meetings for Evan and Owen for next school year. I can't believe that school is almost over with this year. Alyssa will be in 4th grade, Owen 2nd, and Evan in Kindergarten.  Emma will start Early Intervention in the classroom in the fall also. Emma is walking pretty good with her walker. They are working on getting on Orthopedics approved by insurance, hopefully it will be approved soon. Alyssa is enjoying softball, the team has only lost one game so far this season. She has been improving throughout the season and doing well. Owen is loving math at school, he really likes his teacher. I am hoping he will get a teacher just as great as the teacher he has now. Evan is doing good. He is going to be 5 on Sunday. I am getting excited to make him some cupcakes for his birthday, with bright colors.
