Morning Update: 6/25

Michael’s night was overall fine but he needed some pain meds for discomfort. His vitals are acting up a little, particularly his blood pressure which keeps dipping lower than it should. Despite that, he still feels fine so that’s a good sign. (And, to ease any concerns, Michael has always had unnervingly low blood pressure to begin with but extensive cardiac work ups in the last couple of years confirm that’s just how his body is. Of course, in medical situations, that doesn’t give him a lot of wiggle room if it dips. So a small drop from someone with BPs in the standard adult range wouldn’t be a big deal but he doesn’t have the same cushion.)

They’re running a few tests this morning to get to the bottom of it but they’re non-invasive so they aren’t causing him any additional discomfort. Rest assured, the staff has said everything they’re doing is precautionary to catch anything before it has a chance to become something.

I’ll be back this evening with more information, or sooner if there’s any news to share before then. ❤️

  1. Low blood pressure runs on my side of the family. Mine use to be 90 over. 60z. My grandmother the same as I have gotten older it now ranges in the 124-134 range over 90. I remember when I had full bladder surgery it went to 65 over 50. Freaked the nurses out. They will get it straightened out.
    Get rest and do not push it. Love you and sending big hugs.
