Update About My Health

So here is the full story for all those who are interested... on Saturday my mom and I were at Wal-Mart getting some cold medicine. I started to fell light headed, which has been fairly common with this pregnancy. So I went to the pharmacy area to find the blood pressure machine and I did not see one so I sat down on a bench. My mom went to finish the shopping and I waited. She came back about 5 minutes later and I was feeling better. We walked to the checkout line and by the time we had made it through I was feeling light headed again and my heart was racing. As we rushed to leave the store I saw the blood pressure machine and sat down to take my blood pressure. By the time the cuff had tightened on my are I was gone. When I woke up my mom told me that I had just had a SEIZURE and that it was about a minute and a half long. At this point I am escorted to the car and taken to the ER. While at the ER they ran many tests but the only thing they found was that my salt and iron were low. They told me I could have a problem with my heart like an arrhythmia. They told to see my OB as soon as possible. So this morning I went in to see my OB and see ran a few test but said that the baby was fine. She made an appointment for me to see a neurologist tomorrow afternoon for a CT and MRI. So hopefully they figure out what is going on with me tomorrow, but please remember me and the baby in your prayers.

Megan, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope that they find that everything is okay and it was just a fluke due to the strains of being pregnant. We will keep you both in our prayers.
