Cushing's Syndrome

I know there have been alot of questions about what is going on during this pregnancy and is everything going to be okay. We are hoping now that we found the cause of the high blood pressure that things will continue to get better and Brennen will continue to grow and make it to full term. Below I have included two links to sites that explain some of the symptoms and treatments of Cushing's syndrome. Hopefully now that the tumors are gone I will make a fairly speedy recovery. My endocrinologist is optimistic because my cortisol levels dropped drastically after surgery that the adrenal tumors were the cause and that removing my adrenal gland was beneficial. I am happy with that as I recover from surgery I wouldn't be happy to have gone through major abdominal surgery for nothing. I am still pretty sore, but getting better daily. I have to take replacement steroids right now until my other adrenal gland starts producing hormones. The downfall of that is that they are raising my blood glucose and now I have gestational diabetes. So now I have to check my blood pressure, my blood sugar and watch my diet. Hopefully I can avoid having to go on insulin.
