The Strasser's

Well I am so overwhelmed right now, lots to say. Hmmm.....to start with the good news or bad. I will start off with the good news. Evan did really with his echo and also with ekg. All the nurses and his doctor think he is adorable, as usual they commented on his eyelashes. :) But who wouldn't because they are amazing. Well I guess it's not really bad news. She did here that the duct is still open and his left ventricle is mildly enlarged. So he will be having the procedure to close the duct. She also said that closing the duct will help him grow better because with the duct being open can make his heart work a little harder to work than it should. The sooner they get this done the better. It's good that they are on top of making sure that his heart sounds good. Because if it doesn't get taken care of, than he could have heart problems when he is older. One of the procedure's that I remember talking about last time was going through a vein in his leg and going up...

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.
