5-13-08...oops I mean 5-12-08

My doctor came back today. He had been off for the weekend and there has been another doctor on call here that has been taking care of me. So my doc came to see me a few minutes ago. He said he just didn't know what to do with me. He was trying to make me laugh and it worked. He said because I had such a severe case of the Preclampsia, my body is having a really hard time recovering. And because I am on the Labadelol 4x times a day and it is only putting me in the 140's/90's (with out the meds I would be back in the 180's/100's) he is going to try me on a new med alongside the Labadelol as well. The doctor this weekend did not want to add any new meds since he is not my attending and does not know me like my delivery doctor does. My attending dr that delivered Blake is so wonderful and pays attention to every little thing. He is not releasing me till they get my bp lower than what it is. He is very caring and knowledgeable about everything. He is trying so hard to get my bp under control. He does not want to put me back on the Procardia since that is what bottomed me out, so he is going to try me on Hydrochlorothiazide along with the Labadelol. He said he is going to keep me tonight to watch and make sure I do not react badly to it and if I normalize I can go home tomorrow. Oh yea and he wants us to rent a wheel chair once I get out so that I am not walking eveywhere. He does not want me to relapse and have to come back in once he releases me. He does want me to walk a little so that I do not create blood clots in my legs but only for a couple minutes around the room. Blake has done good this morning...no apneas since the new nurse came on, but she has had to chase him with his oxygen. She has to turn his O2 up and down because he is pulling a rollercoaster move going up and down. He did start to high sat when I was there so the nurse got to turn his O2 down a little which is a good thing. He seems to enjoy me being there which makes me feel better. He gets a bath tonight so I will update after.
