Unexpected Visit
We had to go into the BMT yesterday because T got up at 4:30 am to go to restroom(in the dark) and got dizzy and fell. I found out I cannot support his body weight. He sat down on the bed and then decided to try to make it to the bathroom. He made it as far as the door and grabbed the door facing and went limp as a noodle. He did not remember doing that, anyway, I checked his blood pressure and it was SOOO low! Of course he fussed but I called the doctor and it took Lidia to convince him into coming in. They kept him and did blood pressure sitting, laying and standing. The standing is the problem, his pressure bottoms out and heart rate goes way up!
They started him on a new med, so 32 medications he is on now! Hopefully this will take care of it! Butch came and stayed with him today so I could go into work and they had a good visit!
We have a new addition to our family! Tracy(Karen's daughter)gave birth to Brooke yesterday! Don't know the details, but Kristina said she is beautiful! Her pictures have already graced facebook. Hopefully the rest of the week will be uneventful! Pray it is!
Hugs and kisses!
