I’ve been admitted back at L&D. All tests came back normal. Still no explanation for my erratic pulse. Brielle is doing good. We’re going on about twelve hours without food and I’m about to go crazy. Will probably speak to a cardiologist in the morning. For now I’m supposed to rest and hopefully eat.
Hi all. This is David. Quick update before my phone battery runs out: a few tests were done over in Labor & Delivery but they moved her to ER because they wanted an EKG but couldn’t get one brought over after hours.
Blood tests, two urine sample, two ultra sounds and constant monitoring of her pulse and blood pressure and we don’t have the answers yet to why her pulse is so high and her chest is tight.
Brielle is OK so far.
More updates later.
Thank you for prayers!
Please keep me in your prayers. We’re on the way to the hospital because my heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar have been all over the place all day. Please pray that Brielle is okay and none of this has hurt her too.
If you’re taking an antidepressant and are of childbearing age this post is for you. I really don’t want anyone else to have to deal with the loss of their child, especially if it’s preventable.
“The analysis did find an association between birth defects and the antidepressants fluoxetine (Prozac) or paroxetine (Paxil). That included heart defects, abdominal wall defects, and missing brain and skull defects with paroxetine, and heart wall defects and irregular skull shape with fluoxetine. The relative risk increased 2 to 3.5 times, depending on the defect and the medication.”
Please keep me in your prayers. It’s getting very hard to breathe. Draining the excess fluid can cause preterm labor and she could be poked by the needle, especially since she’s a wiggle worm. So please pray that we’ll know what to do when the time comes (which could be very soon) and that she’ll be okay if we have to drain.
