Taking it easy


Karla Kylee
I saw my specialist yesterday. The baby looks good, but I don't. My blood pressures are at a dangerous level. So Dr. Kates has doubled my medication, but he gave me a warning to go with them. If I don't rest more and my blood pressure remains high--he will suggest to Dr. Driesbach that I be put in the hospital. And I think Dr. Driesbach will follow his advice. I worry a little what Dr. Driesbach will say on Monday without Dr. Kates' advice. My sugars are also not so great. But I need to be better about staying on my diet--although he has increased my medication there as well. So 5 more weeks to go--we can do this!
P.S Just taking it easy didn't seem to do the trick. So I spent Mother's Day in bed. As long as I was laying down, my pressures seemed to come down. So depending on what Dr. Driesbach says tomarrow, it looks like bed rest for me.

You have to be careful for yourself, your baby, and your girls. If things are not good with you all three of your children will suffer. Take care of yourself. I love you!!
P.S. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY
