High Blood Pressure!


When Braden got had kindergarten shots in August Dr. Graham checked his blood pressure and it was high so the nurse checked it, they drew blood, took urine, sent me to the infusion place to have the machine check it, by the time we were done with all that he had figured his blood and urine was okay to we decided to watch it and check in a few months, I had Braden in 2 weeks ago to get his cough checked out, he told me to just give him cough meds he is fine but let's check his blood pressure again this time it was higher then in August, crazy I know a 5 year old with high blood pressure, the Dr. decided to have an ultrasound done on his kidneys to check them he thought maybe one was bigger then the other so last Wednesday we went and got an ultrasound the Dr called Thursday to tell me his kidneys are fine his blood flow is good, what a relief to that but still no reason for the high blood pressure so he told me to come in today and have it checked again it was higher today then 2 weeks ago so he sent me back to the infusion center to have the machine check it still high, your kidding me I thought! So Dr. Graham is going to call me tomorrow and we are going to go see a specialist to figure it out! What a crazy deal.
