Hubby update . . .

High blood pressure seems to be the culprit. After all the tests came back he was put on an increased mg. of BP medication Lisinopril, also a blood thinner Plavix and needs to record his BP daily for 30 days to attempt to get it into the "norm" category. He can fly now :). Salt intake needs to be no more than 2 1/2 grams per day (which actually isn't too bad after reading some labels). Of course every instruction from the doctor was proceeded by "as we get older".. So for all of our "older" friends out there..take note, this sucks but we need to face up to it now and take action.

Boy I am impressed

Some of us are lucky we can turn on a computer let alone having our own Blog. Congrats on Josh, there are no doctors of anything in our family, sounds like the baby is getting closer they are neat, you can spoil them and send them home, you need to get him back up in Oregon so you can babysit.Doubling Dale's BP dosage is good but do cut down on his honey do list also. And from an older friend the medical list and pill box grows with age

Thanks for sharing

Careful of the side effects of the double dosage of BP meds. Tai-Tai had this happen once and it seem to do more harm than good.
