{Don't you eat with your feet on the table, too?}- Sunday - Meg starts seeing stars, 4 hours later Aaron wakes her to call the on-call doctor because he'd been researching her symptoms and felt it might be pre-eclampsia. He was right, the doctor scolded Meg for not going to the hospital earlier, called the hospital to let them know she may be sending her in but she got to spend the night in her bed because she's so convincing. An early Monday visit, followed up by a Tuesday visit and her blood pressure is high for her but still safe. The doctor thinks she had a migraine and just wasn't bothered much by the pain.
- Tuesday- Meg failed several tests. Iron supplements will fix the first problem. And a 4 hour test for gestational diabetes at the hospital tomorrow morning should give us an answer about the diabetes.
- Wednesday- Porter visited the ENT. His hearing results fall on the low normal side and we get to go back in 4 months to check that out again. The doctor was nice and ordered a sleep study that we'd like to have done and was able to get us in this Sunday night. Porter also visited his Pedi for phantom fevers (still waiting for lab results).
- The last few days- Porter has developed Amblyopia or lazy eye in the left eye. It's not happening a ton, but often. I feel really bad because this means he's having problems with his vision at least 50% of the time for his brain to cause his eye to do this. Bad Mom award goes to Meg. Since P's eyes are straight the majority of the time everything I've read suggests that minor intervention and this won't be a long term problem. 3 week wait to see the Eye doctor

Thank goodness Aaron's healthy! Really nothing major going on, I'm just tired of doctor's offices and our worst 2 appointments are tomorrow where there's a pretty good chance I'll struggle with the test I'll be having done because of my hyperglycemia and sleep studies aren't fun for anyone but especially a toddler.In other news we've been practicing having another baby in the house and we're happy to say Porter is doing awesome; much better than the dog.

Thanks for the updates. We have been very worried, but didn't want to be nosy. We'll keep all of you in our prayers! Hope to see you soon.....
I hope P isn't really planning on eating the baby ;)
Can't wait to see how the sleep study goes. We finally got our referral to do Max's!
You are right OH MY... Goodness, hope things work out. I had Preeclampsia with Cameron and they took him early and I had Diabetes with McKenna. So if you have questions you can talk to me. with the diabetes my placenta started going capoot and so that is why McKenna was so itsy. Let me know if you need anything. Also Brooklynn has eye issues too- she doesn't have it where her eye goes lazy, it just doesn't work and she even had walking issues because of it. Good luck with everything. I really hope your tests come back good.
Doesn't sound like fun! And you're right - the 4 hour gestational diabetes test is absolutely NO FUN with hypoglycemia.
Hope you have some answers for Porter soon.
Oh man, sounds a little stressful but it also sounds like you've got it under control. Thinking about you guys!
I am so sorry good luck. Hope you don't have pre-eclamsia I had it and it was no fun, but I did get to have Addi 2 weeks early.
I was kind of worried you hadn't posted for a while; now I know why. P is so close to Heaven, just keep tuning in and all will be well. Love you all more than I can say and wish you only good things.
I hope everything turns out perfectly normal! You guys are in our prayers!
