Where did it go?…(Continued from issue 15)

Tests, tests, and more tests, the nurses were checking my vitals every few hours as well as checking on the baby’s vitals on the machine that was connected to my belly. But none of these tests showed WHY my heart rate went up to 200 that night.

The doctors wanted to do 1 more test to determine what could have caused it except this test required using a radioactive isotope that they would inject into my blood stream and then follow it using another special machine. On any other day this would have been no big deal to say ok to but this time my husband and I have to make sure that the baby that is growing inside of me will be ok.

After talking with the doctors and each other and some praying we decided to have the test done.

I was taken to yet another special area of the hospital. In this room was a set up that included a video screen attached to a special camera called a gamma camera. Here I was injected with the radioactive isotope that acted as a “tracer”. This tracer iTalk s designed to accumulate in a specific area of the body (in this case my heart), allowing doctors to image my heart using that special camera hoping to be able to “see” how my heart rate went up so high. After about 20-30 minutes an image was created and studied.

Talk about stress!

Oh yeah what are we up to now?

Keep stress levels low because I am pregnant but…

First, I had the morning sickness which was stressful.

Second, there was all the talk of the world coming to an end due to Y2K.

Third, I was bleeding vaginally.

Fourth, MS made me a paraplegic.

Fifth, my heart rate went above 200 beats per minute.

Sixth, my husband had to be called back to the hospital because the doctors wanted to STOP MY HEART!!!!!

Seventh, my baby could die so we could save my life!

Eighth, why am I still in the hospital?

Ninth, complications for the baby just to do a test?

Tenth, waiting for the results from that radioactive isotope test!

At this point, I was back in the MICU area to keep an eye on me and the baby to be sure that nothing went wrong. After several hours we got the answer.

My doctor came to my area with my MICU nurse standing by, only to deliver that there was NO answer at least no definitive answer. My heart looked great, and the test went as it should have.

The doctor said that they can only assume that what happened is that for some reason the electric pulse also known as your heart rate “got stuck” in one of the chambers of my heart and kept going in circles until they “shut it down” by stopping my heart.

Great so all that stress for NO answer!

I was finally released from the hospital BUT now due to all the things I had been through especially the paralysis caused by MS and the needing to use IV steroids to regain my ability to walk, I left with orders to start taking insulin by injection and checking my blood sugar levels 4 times a day and eating only 1300 calories a day.

I hate needles! Now I have to use needles to check my blood sugar levels and follow that up with insulin injections too.

What other stresses could there be?

Back to that in the next newsletter…
