We came home on Sunday with Molly. On Tuesday,9/16, I rushed Sarah to the hospital with extremely high blood pressure. She was hysterical. She was having trouble breathing and felt as if her head was going to explode. There was nothing I could say or do. I could not make it better. She was admitted into the ER at Mercy Gilbert. We spent the night in Triage and she was tested for all kinds of things. The original thought was Cardiomyopothy. We spent the night in the ER triage behind a curtain. Sarah was given a more comfortable bed, while I was given the gurney she was originally in. Sarah was given LOTS of drugs. We listened to the hospital staff as they saved a very old man's life. We listened to a two month old baby with a heat condition cry, while his THIRTEEN year old mother stood by. The staff also told me there was someone bleeding to death down the hall. Sarah's blood pressure and heart rate jumped up very high again and so the hospital staff started another round of drugs to try to fix it. We were finally moved into a room in the Telemetry section of the hospital. On Thursday we were informed by a cardiologist and a very insensitive way that when Sarah arrived to the hospital on Tuesday, she was experiencing Congestive Heart Failure. This came as quite a shock to us and was difficult to hear. We had trouble getting a lot of answers and an explanation. Sarah was kept in the hospital so they could monitor her condition. She was treated pretty well. After more tests with no bad results, they told her she would be released on Friday. I was there with her and Molly. It was a great feeling to be taking my beautiful wife and baby home (again). We will have a lot of follow-up appointments and have some eating habits to change so that Sarah can remain healthy. It's great that we still have the chance to make these changes together and to be with Molly together.
We are very greatful to all of our friends and family for the love and support we received. We received flowers from people and had a lot of loving visitors, text messages and phone calls. Thank you all! I love you.
