I got my first 24 hour sample test results back and things look good so far. My protein went up from 1.3 to 1.6 but my doctor considers that still steady. She's worried about jumps up from say 1.3 to 5. My bloodwork is also normal for kidney/liver function and my blood pressure is varying between 100/55 to 135/70. Now the big test will be when they do the 2nd 24 hour sampling in 3-4 days. I hope you will continue to send your good thoughts & prayers.
I've been chatting with another triplet mom on hospital bedrest and she got so many questions about what she did all day, she posted every visitor, test, and scheduled thing she did. So I decided to do the same! The list isn't too exciting, but just gives you a general idea of how crowded my day really is!

Kinda wondering when you get a chance to relax. LOLOLOL. You're doing great! Love the BP - it's excellent so far.
ReplyDeleteT -- And my BP got even better overnight and this morning. My doc is super happy. I feel even more popular today. From 6am - 11am it seems like someone was coming in and out of my room every ten minutes. I'm popular!
ReplyDeleteGeez, let the pregnant lady get some rest!
ReplyDeleteSooo glad to hear everything is mostly okayish considering. Sending strong thoughts for you, babes & dad!
Thanks, Jessa! I thought I'd have way more time to get stuff done here at the hospital. Who knew? LOL!
