He had a high blood pressure reading. One. Yesterday. Right before rounds. (great timing there) Not several in a row. One. That is what all the testing is about. Kidneys ultrasound. Heart ultrasound. Urine analysis. Blood work. Because of one bad reading.
Hasn't had another high reading since then. They haven't found anything. (duh. He was probably just upset or something.) Give me a freaking break already.
1-3 days because of one bad blood pressure reading. He should check mine. I KNOW mine would make him wince.
Afraid to hope favorite doctor will release him. Don't want to get hurt again. But come on...please. Crap. It is there. I just know I am setting myself up for more disappointment.

I am sorry you are going through this is now - it is unfair. Thinking of you and lots of going home now thoughts! Hugs, Meme
Crossing my fingers that the next 1-3 days FLY by for you !
Funny how it will feel like an ETERNITY to get them home....but the next 3 years will be a blink of an eye.
If you personally feel that Jason is well - and no, you're not a doctor, but you are his mother and have been there constantly and know him so well - then is it possible to, um, assert yourself very strongly? As in, put your foot down and raise an eyebrow and throw your weight around? I know the doctors are doing what they think is best, being cautious, but sometimes (at least in my experience) they can be over-cautious. If you feel comfortable in his health, is it possible to make some strong demands? With the proviso that you'll rush him back to the hospital if he has so much as a case of the bad huccups?
I guess I just don't understand NICU at all, because this seems beyond crazy to me. Maybe you could ask them if all of this balances out the fact that the simple act of being IN a hospital increases the chance of infection and certain illnesses.
Not to mention parental hypertension.
