DR

My dad is out of the nursing home and my mom took him home last night . When she got him home his blood sugar was 569 and she was in a panic she had to drive back to Ridgecrest to get him quick acting insulin . She finally had it controlled at 2 am this morning . My poor mother she has been through so much the last 3 months with my Dad. My dad had 12 mini strokes in August and he hasn't been the same since . He is still recovering and can't hardly walk or use his hands. He has been in and out of the hospital trying to regulate his blood and get the strokes under control. They decided he was doing OK enough to come and stay awhile when Isaiah was born . They were here a week and he got a cut on his hand and could not get the blood stopped. So he called his DR and they wanted him to go to LAB to get his Pro-time checked to see how thin his blood was. It was dangerously thin and My mom had to drive him to Ridgecrest at 11:30 p.m. to get him admitted in hospital . When they arrived at hospital he fell in parking lot and injured his arm and that is why he had to go to the nursing home because he can not use a walker to walk or feed himself due to his injured arm. The place was super depressing and he checked himself out yesterday and went home. My mom is going to try to get some type of therapy at home. I just PRAY that he gets better and that my mom has peace... We took Isaiah to the DR today he gained 1/2 of a pound over the weekend . He is 8lb 2 oz exactly what he was a birth . His jaundice level is 6.2 and they want us to go back on friday to check his billi and get him circumcised. Pappy also went to the DR today because his annual blood work came back urgent... his Potassium levels are super high and Kidneys are not dong well. He sees a specialist on Monday and is taking some laxative to get the potassium levels down . He gets rechecked on thursday for that.. So DR DR DR. This week for the whole fam damily ......
