Bumpy road for new mother

Problems with blood pressure spiking have sent my daughter-in-law back to the hospital. The new baby, Logan, is fine, but Jocelyn has pressure zooming up to 199/117 at short notice. Bad, bad headaches accompany this sort of pressure. The docs give her bp meds, the pressure goes down, the headache clears up, then after some time, same thing all over again. Third day in the hospital today for the poor girl. Cat scans, MRIs, the whole gamut of tests are being done.

She is missing her new baby and his older sister. Visitation has been ordered up for noonish today. I am going to see them, and maybe take over babysitting duties from my co-grandparents.

Sometimes you forget what a risky business childbirth is for the mother, not to mention the baby. I hope the docs figure something out... and do it TODAY.
