I know I haven't posted in a while, but you guessed it, more drama at the Fisher household. On Friday morning I woke up around 7, and it was time to take my new contraction medicine...so I took it...about 30 minutes later I thought I was going to die (I am not exaggerating here). My heart was racing at 125...I had been on the medicine for 4 days, so I was surprised and freaked out. Luckily, my mom was still here or else I would have really been freaking out...turns out a racing heart is a serious side effect of my new medicine. The medicine is intended for people with high blood pressure, but it has been proven effective in also controlling pre-term labor...the medicine does not usually lower people's blood pressure when they have normal blood pressure...but of course I proved that wrong. My doctor had me on double what I took with Kaylyn, which made me nervous, but she is the boss...so I was just taking it and doing as I was told...so what ended up happening was that my blood pressure dropped really low, and my heart was trying to make up for it, which caused me to have a heart beat of about double what is normal for me. So I paged the on call doctor, which thankfully was Dr. Adam...and she of course wanted me to go to the hospital for some testing. So my mom took me up there, they did some testing, and now I am on half of the dose that I was, but feeling better. I think the medicine is still screwing with my blood pressure, but nothing compared to Friday morning. You know...leave it to me, seriously...most pregnant women have problems with high blood pressure, and here I am with low blood pressure...What in the freaking world...Also, I seriously just should tell the doctor what to prescribe to me...I obviously know more than them!
In addition to all that crap, Kaylyn has been running a fever, for over 36 hours now...for no apparent reason (ie, no cough or runny nose). As if I don't have enough to worry about. I worry so bad about her when she gets sick...and she just had the barfs like 6 weeks ago! We have been giving her medicine around the clock, and putting her in cold baths (not popular) and she still has the flipping temperature...so I guess Stephen will have to take the day off to take care of her, b/c she can't go to the sitters, and I can't watch her...and he will have to take her to the doctor without me...first time I haven't been with her at the doctor....my poor baby!
So in closing, and since it is Sunday, and we can't go to church, I pray that we could maybe have like 2 or 4 months of no sickness and no drama...I don't think that is too much to ask, do you??
