My health . . . the update!

So, just to recap:

Last Tuesday I was told that I have preeclampsia based on my multitude of symptoms. They ran some blood work that same day and I was eagerly awaiting the results of it throughout the week. I had a couple of days where I was feeling absolutely terrible, and then a couple of days where it seemed as though 4 more weeks was do-able. Come Friday I still had not gotten my results so I put on my best angry voice and called the doctors office. They still had not results, but encouraged me to come in and do a Non stress test (NST) to see how Lyla was doing and take a urine sample to check my protein levels. Upon arrival my blood pressure was still quite high, and my urine showed signs of protein as well. To make matters worse, the 20min. NST took over an hour because Miss Lyla was in deep sleep ad refused to move. Just as I thought they were going to send me home, the Nurse Practitioner told me I needed to go to the hospital. I smiled, nodded, and left the doctors office knowing that I was NOT GOING TO THE HOSPITAL!!

9:30p rolls around and I am cozy in bed when I receive a phone call from my doctor requesting that I go to the hospital immediately for blood work. I told him that I didn't want to go because I didn't want to miss my baby shower. . . and he pulled out the baby card!!!!! He said "Well, don't you want to make sure that the baby is ok?" What do you say to that..... No??? of course not, so I waddle my way out of bed and tell Tim we're going to the hospital...

Bla Bla Bla.... Midnight rolls around and the hospital sends me home with a clean bill of health. No Pre-eclampsia and no protein in the urine!!!!


So now I am just waiting to get the results back from my other blood work that will let me know just how "out of whack" my thyroid is.


I know my body better than anyone else, and I know I have been having some strange things happening, and I know something isn't right. Today was a good day, we'll see how tomorrow goes.


I'll keep everyone posted!
