So some not so good news. On Monday it was noticed that my blood pressure was climbing and I was put on preeclampsia watch. Yesterday afternoon I was admitted to my local hospital in hypertensive crises. My blood pressure was so high I was in immediate danger. They were able to stabilize me at the local hospital enough for an ambulance ride but I was a very close life flight helicopter trip.

I've been transferred to the absolute premier high risk pregnancy and nicu units in the state. My blood pressure while still high is back in safe ranges this morning. They are telling me I won't be going home with out delivering. Since my prognosis is very good at this time (no additional symptoms or evidence of organ issues) they feel that they will be able to keep me stable until 34 or 35 when they will induce her at 5 or 6 weeks premature, but things could change at any moment still.

I will be living in the hospital for the next month or so. During that time there is no reason why I can't do some light work like processing ice payments and turning on some of the Holiday events etc. (Haystack will be helping with this too) however, for obvious reasons a good amount of what was scheduled to happen is now cut back or canceled. Haystack and I will be evaluating the list to see what is doable now once I am a bit more stable.

I will update info as I have it to share.


Gael is in charge while I am hospitalized. Behavior wise, If someone even sneezes in a way that raises my blood pressure it's an instant ban that will be reevaluated only after we are home from the hospital, and you all know she is 10 times meaner and less forgiving then I am so be extra good. She's basically HAJ Krampus so BE GOOD!
