Where we are?

Sweets is now fifteen weeks pregnant.  Thursday, she walked from one school building to another to go and view a computer room, where the temperature was set at 50 degrees.  But Sweets was sweating and her heart rate was so fast she could feel her pulse beating from her heart down her arms and into her wrist. 

She was fanning herself and her classmates were asking her if she were okay.  She said she was feeling funny and then she fainted.  She awoke in one of her classmates arms surrounded by a lot of alarmed people.  They drove her to her car and sent her home.  She called me to let  me know and I ask, “What did your doctor say.” 

She replies, “I didn’t call her, because I have an appointment on Tuesday.”

I say, “Uh, call your damn doctor and then call me back.”

She calls me back and says she has an appointment in an hour and would I come and get her to take her because she feels funny.  I go get her, take her to the doctor and the doctor admits her in the hospital.  In addition to the erratic pulse that kept fluctuating up and down for no apparent reason, she had had a migraine for two weeks that she had not complained about.

They did  and MRI, an echo cardiogram, and an overnight telemetry to monitor her pulse.  They also drew enough blood to donate to the Red Cross.

All they could find was that she had chronic migraines and low iron.  They were unable to figure out why she has the erratic pulse.   If it continues she is to go to a cardiologist.  In the mean time she is to do no house work, yard work or anything else strenuous.

The baby’s heart beat is strong.
