Major concerns

So at mom's last treatment it was suggested that we check her blood pressure twice a day to see if on non-treatment days it was normal. So far things are not looking good at all. Mom's blood pressure is in crisis status! I will be taking her to her primary care physician first thing Monday morning to see if we can figure out what is causing her blood pressure to be so high. Her blood pressure monitor at home would not even register her results but when myself and my husband, Joe, checked ours we were in normal ranges and the machine worked fine. I took mom to Wal-Mart pharmacy and we checked her blood pressure there and purchased a new wrist machine to use at home. Her blood pressure was 196/106! That is within stroke risk. It is in the very high risk of stroke range. When we got home and checked with the new machine it had come down a little, but was still 190/99. Please pray that we can figure out what is causing her blood pressure to be so high and that we can get it lowered very soon. I am sure the extra stress of dealing with all the new treatments and the worrying of how we are going to continue paying for her treatments is not helping. I beg of all that is reading this to please first say a prayer for her, and then if you are able to spare anything to help towards her treatments to please donate using the GiveSendGo link on the home page, and third if you are not able to donate, please share this web site to all your friends and family. The more we reach in prayers, donations and shares the better. Thank you for following her journey and God bless.
