Sweet Relief!

I was given Tylenol a couple of hours ago and have been feeling much better. Since I wasn’t in so much pain I was able to eat a big meal and while that made my chest a little tight, it made everything else feel so much better. My pulse has been holding steady around 90-110 (with 110 being about the highest). I can talk and I’m off oxygen and they’ve removed my IV. Super excited that my IV is gone, it was in the crook of my right arm and made that arm unusable. Now I need prayers that things continue to go well, my pulse doesn’t spike again, and that my chest pain goes away for good. Thank you so much for the prayers, they’ve been helping!!

Update from Tammy

This is Tammy. Greg and I arrived in Atlanta today after Caitrin’s heart rate jumped unusually high this morning. Right now she and Brielle are doing fine. All of the tests they have run have come back fine, so the doctors are at a loss as to why her heart keeps doing this. I’ll keep you updated as we find out more.

Dekalb Medical Has the BEST Nurses!

The nurses here at L&D are the best! When they found out how long it’d been since we’d eaten they scrounged up what they had left and brought it in for us. David said it was the best ham sandwich he’d ever had. It was just ham and bread lol.

They took very good care of Brielle and I last night. And all of us, including David, got some sleep. My pulse is still high but not as erratic as last night, that might be because I’ve just woken up.

We’re now waiting on an echo and a visit from the cardiologist.

We just had a nice visit with Jamie, who works at the hospital here. We’ve met with her before and she’s wonderful. It was nice of her to drop by and check on Brielle and I. We really appreciated it.
