I just got back from the hospital. Mom is doing well. She is quite irritable, however it is because her blood sugar was back up to almost 300. I believe it was 286. So they had to give her insulin. She still has the feeding tube in her nose. She is also still up to the same ole tricks. She is allowed a thick liquid diet. That means she has to spoon it not drink it or sip it. She has to do her chin tucks and she is being monitored still with ice chips. It is ok to allow regular water to rinse her mouth out after brushing her teeth, she is NOT allowed to swallow the water. She tried that with me and dad this evening and we took the water away. She is now on a cpack.. which is for sleep apnea, but they are using it to help her breath in the evening . So she has to wear it.
But so far the diagnosis is coming out much better. Please keep up the prayers and support. This Easter the doctor said that we can all go in her room and be with her just for a moment. So that was exciting. She isn't happy about not coming home for Easter but she is better off where she is at. Thank you all again for the support that you have been giving us. hugs and kisses..
