Grammie and Grandpa came up for another visit this past week and apparently Mom thought it would be a fun idea to show them the hospital - twice - while they were visiting. Yep - Mom is still having trouble with her blood pressure; it keeps fluctuating all over the place, from 115/78 to 160/115. So, the doctors admitted her to the hospital twice last week to run more tests to make sure that I am doing just fine (I'm doing great!!) and that she doesn't have preeclampsia. Again, thankfully, the problem seems isolated to the high blood pressure. Mom has now been put on Level 3 bed rest for the remainder of the pregnancy to keep her chillin'. That means that she's only allowed to get up off of the couch to pee! Don't feel too bad for her. Since she's pregnant and is drinking a gallon of water a day (doctor's orders!), she still gets to get up to stretch her legs about 20 times every day.
Please pray for good health for my mom. The doctors say that the minute she shows any other signs of preeclampsia, they'll induce labor and get me out of here (delivery is the only cure for gestational hypertension). We all want to keep me in here for a few more weeks, though, if possible, so I'll have nice healthy lungs. I've gotta be able to scare that cat out of my cradle somehow!
