Jennifer in the Hospital

I talked to David this afternoon and he let me know that Jennifer has been admitted to the hospital. She is at Covenant Lakeside in room 317. The lung doctor was too concerned with her condition and wants to be able to monitor her 24 hours per day. This week, her high risk OB, cardiologist, and lung doctor will be working together to figure out how to treat her. Apparently, pulmonary hypertension is pretty uncommon in pregnancy, so there is no precedent on how to treat someone in Jennifer’s condition.

In order to figure out just what is causing the hypertension (either a hole in her heart or blockage), doctors will be having to put her under to do an ultrasound of her heart from the inside.

Jenn’s mom is coming to help with Sam. Unless they find a treatment to help her heart rate go down, Jennifer will be in the hospital until Max gets here sometime in June, so we may need to organize food and/or childcare at some point. Right now they need our prayers.

Pray for Jennifer Crews

Please pray for me and David. We will be going back to a cardiologist tomorrow AM at 10:00. As some of you know, my heart rate has been really fast for about the past few weeks. They did an EKG and an echocardiogram today and the cardiologist (Dr. Smith at Covenant) who read the results wants to get me in tomorrow for some further testing and evaluation. I will let you all know when I have more information.
