Fun Weekend

No pictures for this post, it really wasn't fun at all. I've been struggling with high blood pressure ever since pregnancy with Kamie. In the last few months I have been having migraines Everyday so we changed to a new medication. Apparently I can not take that particular medication. My blood pressure dropped so fast that I started having seizures or convulsions. They were afraid that I may have had a stroke as well and sent me up to University for an MRI. Let me just say that I am Never having an MRI Again. From what they tell me I had seizures the entire half an hour that I was in the MRI and they had to give me Adavant to get it stopped. Now I know how my little girl feels when she seizes. I also had the great fun of doing an EEG. So after all the tests, I did not have a stroke and my brain is healthy and I had a normal EEG. And the EEG results said that I was very tired, go figure I slept through most of it! Now I get to try my 5th medication to control the blood pressure and they are now more worried than ever that I will have a stroke if I get pregnant again. We really want to have another baby sometime sooner rather than later, but unless my blood pressure can be controlled it isn't an option. Even then we have to see a specialist for very high risk pregnancies. Anyone have an available womb we could rent for say 9 months?

What your little family doesn't go through. I don't know how you do it. Be careful! We miss you guys. Glad to hear you're still kicking and they're working to set it right.
