Today was a very long day and a little stressful at first but in the end things are a bit better. For the last two days E has been complaining about getting light headed and feeling like she is running a fever but isn’t. She has also felt nauseated and tingling in her arms like they are falling a sleep. So this morning she felt these things again while she was giving D a bath. She asked for a blessing and I gave her one. After the blessing we called her doctor and he said to go to the hospital for some tests. We got to the hospital around 11:45 and didn’t leave till after 4. When they took E’s blood pressure it was 129/86 by the time we left it was 106/72 so it had come down a lot. They also drew some blood and ran test. When the test came back he potassium was a little low and so was her sodium so our doctor told her to drink a Gatorade once a day for the next few days to help with the sodium level and hopefully that will fix the problems.
Since we have been home E has been really tired and went to bed shortly after 8 tonight. I am glad that every thing is fine so far with her and the baby and we pray that these problems will be solved and we won’t have to deal with them any more. It is nice having her parents living with us so I could leave D with her Dad this morning as I took her to the doctor. I will keep you posted on how she is feeling in the next few days.
