well apparently that black cloud does not want to move. we were back at the hospital yet AGAIN last night. or should i say early this am. she is a diabetic and takes meds for it. but i guess with the cancer in all it's messing with it. so she took her day pill and seemed to be having a good day. then supper time rolled around and she said she was hot. well i thought it was muggy so no big deal. and i thought maybe she was hungry. she asked for pizza for dinner. OMG. she has not asked for food in over a month. so dh went right out and got pizza for supper for us. she managed to eat a piece. ok. so that's good. then she asked for the fan. um, ok. still no big deal. - so i thought. she kept telling me she did not feel good and was shaky. i usually test her sugar 2x a day. and i had done that. so i decided to check it again. yup low. ok have a glass of orange juice. check again. lower. have another glass. check again. lower. have an actually orange. repeat. yet lower again. OMG. are ya kidding me?? we do this for a while. different juices. keep checking. no she wants to go to bed. um not a good idea ma. i called the cancer dr and i get whos on call. she said bring her right in. call 911. ok. ambulance arrives. we are closer to the other hospital, but i request for them to take us to hers. -i know the emt, so no problem he said. - now its 2 am and pouring rain and off we go. on the way there they (emts) call and say we are on our way and they say they are closed to rescues. diverting to another hospital. OMG. no. yup. into the big city hospital. ok well you do what you have to. just keep my mom ok. so we get there and its all kinds of drama. (not with mom, just big city drama!) they gave her pure liquid sugar on the way and it shot up to 255. ok that's ok. then hour after hour it kept going down. so long story short, she ate something and it went up and her labs were ok (being that she has all this other stuff) so they said she could go home and to hold her normal sugar pills for today. but to eat sweet today. i would be YIPPEE, but she's so used to not having it, that its icky to her now. but she's doing it. i got up to go to work friday and spent 10 hrs at the er on friday, 8 or 9 yesterday all on no sleep. i'm so freaking tired right now. but im at the point that i'm over tired. and can't sleep. plus i have to do laundry laundry laundry to keep up with the johnny's and chucks and sheets. oh good grief. somebody please tell this stinkin cloud to get moving past me. not that i wish anyone else the luck i've had lately. just out to sea or something would be nice.
if you still with me after this never ending post, i thank you for reading!
thanks for all you thoughts, love, and prayers ladies. but please keep them coming. i'm in for a long haul it appears!
