Thanks for the update. Glad your Dad is out of the hospital and feeling like himself.
My gosh, someone has really got to scare that daughter of yours into getting things straight. She is killing herself! She may not be aware of just how much damage she is doing to herself. big hugs to you.... ________________________________ From: Sharon Norman <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, February 10, 2011 2:03:25 PM Subject: [Chihuahuas] Update/family (OT) Hi everyone...just a quick note...first of all...thank you ALL for your prayers and good thoughts! My dad came home from the hospital last night...they said he had a seizure and fell...that’s why he didn’t remember anything...I feel so bad for him...his bottom lip looked like he put one of those disks in it to stretch it...it was out as far as his nose! Most of the swelling is gone now. He looks MUCH better! They put him on medication (Keppra) to prevent seizures. But since he had that major stroke 2 and a half years ago..we know he’s prone to them. He’s home and happy...back to his usual self...BUT...yesterday the admitted my daughter through the ER...She was in ICU...she should be in a regular room by now....it’s her sugar again...a lot of you might remember that she was in the hospital for about a month...in 2008 with the same thing. I love her to death...but she doesn’t take care of herself...she gets me SO mad! When they admitted her ...her sugar was around 500! She has an insulin pump...but she mis-uses it. My son has a pump...and does great...but if my daughter wants to eat something she shouldn’t...and she knows it...she gives herself more insulin... My sister who had the massive heart attack in August is VERY sick...we’ve been trying to get her to go to the hospital since Monday! I think she might have pneumonia...she has COPD...congestive heart failure and other health issues with her breathing. I’m very worried about her. Ok...just wanted to update you all...I have to get busy in here...haven’t been home much because of the hospital...I need to get some work done...my leg are VERY sore...I got woke up with MAJOR muscle spasms last night...at one point my heel was against the calf of my leg..there was nothing I could do...then it just released...scared the crap out of me...and the pain...there’s no way to describe it! It’s so darn cold no one wants to do anything! Sox...Mooch and Peanut have been pretty good...I don’t MAKE them go outside...but they want to...especially Sox...he thinks he’s a Husky! Some times I have to go get him and make him come in!
