Yesterday around 4:00, I got a call from mom saying she is having a co-worker take her to the ER. She felt dizzy and light-headed and her blood pressure was really high. We met her there and they got her in. Shortly after, they gave her some meds to try and lower it. She took a new medication that day and her nurse practitioner assumes the dosage was too high and that had a lot to do with her high bp. Finally, it came down and they sent us home, but not an hour later it was back up again. So, back to the ER we went. They got it to come down and then sent us home again. They want her to follow up with her doctors to adjust some of her meds now. So, while waiting in the ER, my cousin Chad, now Dr. Kawa came in to check on us. He saw her name on the boards. So, that was cool to see him all "doctored up". Also, comforting to see someone we know there (a doc, nontheless!). Thanks for checking on us, Chad!
She slept really well the whole night. She said she feels pretty good this morning--so she went to work (that mom of mine!).
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped us out yesterday in a moments notice. Marcie, Sam and Kath, Jan, Dad, Grandma and Chad. We are so appreciative of you and are so glad you are there for us! You are the best!
