Just a few minutes after I finished writing the blog post for yesterday I got a call from daughter saying for us to come over to her house because she was having some serious pains and thought she should go to the hospital and get checked out. We went over and picked the girls up and brought them here to spend the night. Daughter wasn't sure what she was going to do as she waited for a return call from her doctor. We got the girls settled down here and daughter just as daughter called and said she was headed to the hospital. When she got there they put monitors on her and found that she was having contractions but they were far apart but their main concern was her blood pressure was 148/98. They told her she couldn't go home until she saw the doctor the next morning as they needed to keep those monitors on her and the baby. This morning when the doctor came in her wanted to go ahead and break her water but the nurses were so slammed today and short staffed that they talked him into waiting until this evening so she came home and is supposed to go back at 5:00. I had some really good help getting my chores done this morning.
She came here and layed on the couch all day trying to keep her blood pressure down. it was down to 132/92 when she left the hospital this morning but that is still in the range of gestational hypertension. Her doctor texted her at 4:30 and told her to come on in. When she got to the hospital things were moving very slow as the nurses were still very busy. At least she was back on the monitors because her blood pressure was back at 148/98 this evening.
#1 son, d-in-love and RL came up to visit us this evening and the girls had a blast drawing all over #1 son.
