Monday of this week was Thanksgiving and although
we had planned to go to Montreal for the weekend, Maureen's imposed berets
meant that we couldn't go and we had to stay close to home. That was too
bad because it meant we missed Riley's visit from La Ronge and we were
disappointed, but he and his parents will be back in February and we will
see them then.
We went to our regular appointment on Tuesday. We met with Dr Magee
and although Maureen's blood pressure was up at this visit (150 over 95)
her blood pressure readings at home have been nearer 125 over 75 so this
higher reading wasn't considered a danger. The doctors are really going
to be concerned if the lower number goes over 100!
We had taken Dr Laskin's advice on the baby aspirin, and even though
she had only taken 2 aspirin, 2 days apart, the bruising was quite extensive,
and so Maureen cut back to 1 every 3 days. He did not mind that too much
and agreed that was the route to follow. He had really hoped to get more
information from Dr Kingdom, but when he had not heard, he suspected the
appt. had not taken place for some reason.
Dr Windrim conducted the ultrasound, and we once again saw both hearts
beating, and he indicated that both were currently breech (bums toward
the ground). He indicated that things had not changed much. There was more
fluid around "Abigail" and less around "Boris", but there was still a fair
amount around "Boris" and that was to be regarded as a good sign (not to
say it had increased, but to say that it had remained about the same).
We are off to our Placenta exam tomorrow, with Dr. Kingdom.
