Blood Sugar too High

His blood sugar is still climbing and so is his liver counts. He will be taking his blood sugar more often and he will have insulin to take when is gets too high. That is shots not a pill unfortunately! He will have a temporary port put in this Friday so they can get started with a procedure I cannot pronounce much less spell. They will run his blood through a machine(kind of like a kidney machine)and expose it to a certain kind of light and then it will go back into him. He has to wear sun glasses while this is being performed and it takes 4 to 5 hours at a time. I do not know how long this will go on or how it will affect him. After he has the port put in on Friday, the blood bank people will talk to us about it. I hope it is Mike Gilbert from church! Then on Tuesday of next week he will have a permanent port put in that cannot be used for a month, why I am not sure but will be finding out Friday. Lots of questions and hopefully will have them all answered after Friday. We met with Dr. Vaughan after his visit about them doing a story on T. He has made it a goal of his to try to raise money for the BMT unit. We see the need! There are so many people going through this that are having to sit in the aisles getting their blood taken and most of them are immune suppressed, not a good thing! He won't be working as much so if you see him on a job site make sure he has a mask on! He cannot drive right now so I am his chauffeur. Hopefully that will change soon! Thank you for your prayers and may God Bless All of You! Will update after Friday! Hugs and kisses! Alyce
