still on bedrest....

Had an appointment today with just a nurse to get the blood pressure checked. My dr is on vacation right now. So when tested my blood pressure was of course super high, the nurse was concerned and took me in the back to pee in a cup and then lay down before taking my blood pressure again. The protein meausred +1, that's up from "0 with trace" last week. the blood pressure went down when i layed down but the nurse hunted down a dr to discuss it with. After reviewing my history he said that although it was up from last week, it's still manageable if i stay on bed rest at home. They ordered the labs yet again, so i had to have blood drawn and a collection container for 24 urine protein, which has been weekly increasing. The dr said if i go up by the same amount every week, we may not make it to 28 weeks before delivery becomes a must. I'll be 26 weeks on thursday, have another appointment next week so we'll see if we can keep this at bay. But we're riding a fine line at this moment, we KNOW this is going to turn into HELLP if we let the preeclampsia go on too long, but we also know that the baby's chances are better the longer we wait...it's a difficult task deciding when the line is right in front of us and not cross it and make my health so bad that it outweighs the usefullness of the baby being inside. It's only just over two weeks until 28 weeks, crossing our fingers and arms in prayer...we can make it, i hope.
