Off topic- terrified

This is encouraging news for Alexander! Now for you, if you are having dizzy spells are you taking any multivitamins (of course check with doc if you can) and another thing elevate the legs, that will help with the fluid too.
I think after the enormity of the pregnancy etc multivitamin boost would not be too bad an idea, but check first with doc.
the dizzy spells may be relieved by resting with feet up above the knees.
Its worth a try, they do that in hospitals when folks pressure goes low.

I'm glad things are better. My son (now 20) has a heart murmur. Hopefully it will be a relatively benign kind. It has not troubled my son at all. I have one as well.

It sounds like the drops and everything you are doing are working. Will keep the good wishes coming your way and you should see if your doc can write you a script for a blood pressure cuff. I've bought two for my son and they come in handy all the time for all sorts of family things, especially since men seem to get high blood pressure too. I don't think they are too awful expensive. I like the plain old cuff with stethoscope and can tell you how to use it if you need to know.

I hope you get a chance to put your feet up if it helps. It doesn't seem to help mine any, but they aren't near as bad. When I was pregnant it helped to elevate them. My son eats salt to raise his blood pressure and drinks gatorade, but he has to test his blood presure before he does it.

Well, I hope you get that figured out and everyone is okay soon. I'm so glad to hear the good news.
