Well, this weekend I had the great pleasure of spending the weekend in the hospital. Not for myself, but for Caleb. Saturday morning at around 2:00 a.m. Caleb woke me up complaining of a spliting headache and just not being able to sleep at all. So, I had him check his blood pressure and the reading said 210/131...![]()

We immediately got dressed I called my parents and asked them to watch the girls for us and we headed down the mountain to the heart hospital. After waiting 3 hours in the ER we finally got called back. They ran all kinds of tests and told us he was going to have to stay over night. When the EKG came back the doctor told us that the left side of Caleb's heart is thickening and the heart valve that pushes out the blood is stiff, so it would be dangerous for them to lower his blood pressure too fast.
I think I cried so much I'm not capable of crying for at least a year. So, now we just have to monitor his blood pressure and they are going to be sending him to a kidney specialist to see if that's what's causing his blood pressure to sky rocket.
But, the weekend couldn't have gotten any worse until his mother decided to come down. She was hassling the nurses and just being, well herself. I pulled her aside and told her the nurses are not doctors they do not know every fucking thing so please leave them alone. Well, after working herself all in a tissy she went to squirt some instant hand sanitizer in her hands and it shot up right into her eyes and she fell backwards and cracked her head agaisnt the wall. So, needless to say she made it about herself once again, but I don't even know why I am surprised you would think I would be used to it by now.
Caleb is doing fine now. He will be going back to work tomorrow and his blood pressure is evening off. Well, I hope everyone else's weekend was better than mine.
