Oct 19th- we got to see our little squirt. He was perfect with a strong heart beat, measuring just a few days behind my due date.
Oct 20th- we were driving home from St. G. About 1/2 way home (aka 25 minutes from a hospital in either direction), I woke and was trying to tell Jeff that he was awesome because he has been. I was slurring my words and I couldnt say what I wanted to. It was the weirdest feeling. My mouth felt like it was running out of batteries.
I panicked. Absolutely panicked. So Jeff was trying to calm me down, but my arm went numb. I seriously thought I had just lost the use of my right arm.
Long, long story short. They found a small hole in my heart (PFO). Im going to a neurologist to confirn TIA (ministroke) and maybe see if Im still at risk.
So fixing it- we probably dont need to. I havent talked to a cardiologist yet (but I will soon!) but from what Ive read most pfo's are treated with blood thinners. Im on baby aspirin for now, but very soon I will probably be a Heparin or Lovenox shot. (Im sooo making Jeff do it! :) )
Oct 27th- I switched doctors because I am not having this baby in the Cedar City hospital. I love my new OB and they instantly got me in with a High Risk OB doctor. And the most important part! I got to the see the baby again. Im far enough along to use the normal ultrasound! He was moving! I couldnt believe he was moving! Having a ball in there.
