Well, not the best news after today's blood pressure/urine check with the nurse practicioner. Elizabeth's blood pressure was still elevated, although it did go down a bit after resting for a few minutes. They did check on the babies, and they seem to be doing just fine. The nurse practicioner consulted with the doctor on call, Dr. Borhan (we saw her when we went the hospital earlier in the pregnancy). Here is the new plan:
- They drew some blood today to test liver and kidney function, the results will be available tomorrow.
- Starting tomorrow morning Elizabeth will be collecting all of her urine and storing it in our refrigerator for 24 hours. (YUK!) We will drop off the sample at the hospital lab on Saturday. They will do another blood test then to look for changes in kidney/liver function.
- Elizabeth is going back to see the nurse practicioner again in the morning.
I'll update the blog tomorrow afternoon/evening to keep everyone up to speed.
