Well I found out that the nurse last night was in training and the charge nurse that was with her was actually Blake's nurse for the night so now I feel better. I forgot that it is a training hospital. So he got to have two nurses for the night. We went to see him and he was sleeping but he had the hiccups. Poor thing he couldn't stop. I took my meds and then went to see him so when we got back we waited about 1 1/2 hrs to check the labaladol to see if it had kicked in. And that is a negative. It was 156/109. So the doctors were called and the decision has been made to up my dosage starting tomorrow from two times a day to 200mg four times a day. This is going to be intersting. So sucky I am NOT going home tomorrow. They have to watch it and see if it works, otherwise they better start looking into a new medicine. My dad is flying back to Ohio in a few hours. He really doesn't want to go. He is so worried about all of us that he is stressing himself out and that is not good. Attention GCM lab group- please make him behave when he gets back there. Someone has to keep him chilled out and I know you ladies can do that. he thinks so highly of all of you.
Oh We found out that one of Blake's weekend night nurses that has taken care of him for the weekend he was born and the last two weekends, is leaving the hospital so she can be closer to home. We are very sad because she takes such good care of Blake. We will miss her so. For everyone who thinks I am not resting...I AM. I have not left this bed except to go to NICU and it is going to make me crazy but I am doing what they tell me so that I can get out of here and get better for Blake. My cousin gave me this huge lecture on following the rules the docs give me, which I have been doing, and resinting in bed, which i have been doing. They are even talking about renting me a wheel chair so i don't walk everywhere. LOL I don't think so, how silly would that be? I apologize for any mispellings and wrong words, I took an ambian they gave me and I am sorta in a daze ready to go night night. So I will update tomorrow with more.

Janna~ I saw your blog on your Myspace page. Although I haven't talked to you in forever, I am glad to have found your blog. Blake is precious, and I am praying for him, and you! We just had our last baby (boy #4) on 4/22/08, so just a few days older than Blake. Our oldest was a preemie, although not a micro, and I remember how stressful and scary it is, especially when you are watching them go through an apnea episode and their heartrate is dropping. Our preemie is now 5 1/2 and doing wonderfully, and we are praying the same for Blake. I am thrilled he didn't need surgery at all. I pray that they can get your blood pressure fixed so you can get out of the hospital. I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!
