We recently brought home our new baby boy and what a joy that was. Sawyer Chaz Meadows is a wonderful and gorgeous baby boy, the whole family just loves him like crazy. My Mom and brother Jason were able to spend the first 10 days with us and then my Dad arrived Tuesday night and will be here for a week. I am so grateful for the help that I have from my family...they are awesome!!!
We brought Sawyer home on February 20th and on that following Monday, February 22nd at around 8pm at night I had a bad headache. It was nothing that I had ever experienced in my entire life. My mom and I were on the way to Target and I told her it would be ok if we still went, I thought it would go away. About 5 minutes down the road I knew it wasn't going away...and just started crying, it was so painful. I called my friend Jaimee who thought it might be a brain bleed or a spinal headache and she recommended I drink a high caffeine drink lay down to see how that worked. We got off the next exit, bought a drink and I cried all the way home. Nothing was getting better and I can't say it got worse because it was just horrible from the moment it started. When we got home I knew I was going to the hospital. I asked Spencer for a blessing and while he was doing that my Mom was calling the ER to see what to do...they of course said to come in right away. After arriving there and dealing with the nasty from staff who confirmed that my blood pressure was around 194/110, I was brought to the back. The asked me questions about how bad it was and on a scale from 1-10 what I thought...I told them 100! The ordered a cat scan to make sure there was no brain bleeds or anything else, that came back fine. I was given 2 different blood pressure medications through an IV and that made a world of difference. I stayed in the hospital for 2 days and couldn't wait to get home. I am sure the hospital staff that came in my room felt the same way...I cried whenever someone told me I wasn't going home when I wanted to...I was really homesick and missed being with my kids. I am currently on blood pressure medication, but the doctor said that I can ween myself off of it anytime now. It was not fun what I went through, but it made my decision on Sawyer being our for sure last baby, no questions about it!
