No appointments...ha!

Last week was scheduled to be our daughter's first week since her birth where she had no scheduled doctor's appointments. We decided that we'd do a quick nurse visit to check on her blood pressure, but no specialists. Her blood pressure was off the charts high, so the doctor decided to do another adjustment to her steroid and Propranolol medication. We continue to head in the right direction with meds!!!

Well, while we were with the nurse on Wednesday having our daughter's blood pressure checked, I received a text message from my husband that he was being admitted to the hospital with pancreatitis. I knew that his stomach had been bothering him that morning, but I had no idea it was so serious. I didn't even know what a pancreas did!!! His pain was terrible. For the first two days they didn't even let him have any water to drink. Pancreatitis is a slow recovery. He was able to be released from the hospital on Easter Sunday. So, our first week of no doctor's appointments with our daughter found us in the hospital for five days with dad.

We are so thankful for our friends and family who helped us out last week and who continue to support us this week. You guys are amazing and I don't know how we would have made it without you!
