It's Monday (Prayer Request)

-We originally planned to go to the Bicentennial Mall in Nashville for a picnic and to check things out. We were then going to head to Lion's Eye Center for Daniel's 2nd follow up appointment with Dr. Morrison. We decided that it might be better to have more time at the Bicentennial Mall then just a couple of hours so we decided that on of us would take Daniel to his appointment while the other stayed home with the rest of the crew. We needed milk and a few other groceries so it was decided that I (Mommy/Jenny) would go get groceries and then Daddy/Richard would take Daniel to his appointment. We were both happy with the plan, it allowed us both to get things done that we wanted/needed to get done.
-It is Monday and Mondays do not always go as planned (things do not always go as planned on other days either). I started feeling bad yesterday (Sunda) - dizziness, nausea, etc. I checked my blood sugar and it was fine (107). I decided to check my blood pressure and it was low 117/68 (a perfect BP but low for me). My BP stayed low the rest of the night and I continued to feel "weird" but wasn't too worried thinking that I was feeling weird since my body was not use to the low BP. I woke up this morning (Monday) feeling okay and after being up for awhile I started feeling bad - dizziness, nausea, etc. I checked my BP (112/69). I decided I would call the doctor to see if there was a concern. The doctor was concerned and asked me to come in. The monitored my BP for awhile - it was high when I first arrived (158/88) but dropped while i was there. The doctor also wanted to to check my blood sugar, it was low (68). The doctor decided to send me for a one hour glucose test, he is more concerned about my blood sugar then blood pressure. I was told that if the symptoms worsen to call the doctor immediately and if it is after hours to go the ER. I have an appointment on Wednesday at 1:45 p.m. and will hopefully know more then.
-So, our plans were totally changed - Daniel's appointment was rescheduled for July 27. I did go grocery shopping after drinking the sugary drink for the glucose test. I took the groceries home and put them away. We then loaded the boys in the van. I went into the lab to have my blood drawn and Daddy/Richard set in the van with the crew. We ate lunch at Taco Bell and went to Target to get a new car seat for Daniel before heading home.
-Our plans for tomorrow (Tuesday) are to stay home and work on cleaning and packing. I pray that our day goes as planned.
