My dr has decided i am his own personal medical mystery, i prefer the term medical miracle instead. The preeclampsia is completely gone. The protein has gone down to normal levels, and my blood pressure is more normal every day, even with regular activity, taking care of kids and running errands and the like. Then today at a monitoring appointment we listened again and heard the sound a heartbeat with ZERO arrhythmia, it was completely normal!
The dr came in today even though i was only meeting with the nurses because he wanted to know how it could be possible for a patient to have preeclampsia and have it just go away. There are two ways to look at this:
Theory number 1: it never WAS preeclampsia, it was caused by the kidney stone all along, and now that the baby kicked the stone down into the bladder, the kidney is no longer in distress and no longer causing the symptoms.
Theory number 2: who cares why, it's because of all of the prayers and the blessing i was given that this was all a miracle from God, because even if the preeclampsia symptoms were being caused by the kidney stone, it does not explain the arrhythmia and it's also miraculous disappearance at the same time as the disappearance of the preeclampsia....i mean maybe i'm just overly optimistic and excited to see the hand of God in my own life, but it's pretty obvious the only way both of these things could simply disappear on their own is with a little divine intervention! Besides as is always said, to God there are no miracles, he understands the workings of life and death and illnesses in a way we never could, and if he wants to fix them, well then he just does, because he understands how.
Either way i suppose it doesn't really matter, although it seems to matter to my dr who is just dumbfounded by it all. He still checks in on me thru email, i think he's afraid to count it as completely gone, worried it'll suddenly reappear again, which is entirely possible, heck anything is at this point! But this is getting me so much further in this pregnancy than we thought possible that even if it does come back Catcher is getting bigger by the day and that means a healthier little guy in the end.
Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us...it worked!
