Hypertension

Oct 07 2011 Published by under Prologue

After recovering from a week of family-wide malaria, Breanna noticed that she was still feeling sluggish. That’s when we discovered Jack was here!

With all of the kids, Breanna had pregnancy induced hypertension, but late in the pregnancy. She borrowed my blood pressure cuff and found out her blood pressure was already elevated.

After trying four blood pressure cuffs, being visited by fellow missionaries with medical experience, and consulting with a missionary doc in Nairobi, we planned to get Breanna down to Nairobi as soon as possible to see a high risk OB-GYN. Our first big decision began rising in front of us: Should we move to Nairobi or return to Lokichoggio.
