Is It Bedtime, Yet?

Well, Lucas came home yesterday. His surgery went well. He is up on crutches now, but is laying low. We are all so thankful that he and his friend are both alright. Lucas is definitely milking this injury for all it's worth. Everyone jumps at his every request and will usually do it before he even asks. He's in Heaven...

Speaking of Heaven, Mom spoke with grandma today. Grandma told her to be prepared... :C She goes in for surgery on Friday to get a new fistula for dialysis. She's been told she will need dialysis more frequently now as well as more blood transfusions. Chemotherapy was started this last Friday. Grandma has no appetite anymore and is feeling sick. Please, say a little prayer for no suffering. And if this is the end, we all know that Jesus is waiting for her with open arms. There is no person more deserving of soaring through the sky on her way towards Heaven's gates in the embrace of an angel at the end of her journey to meet our Heavenly Father. She has been so strong for so long and has not once lost her faith. She is my inspiration. <3

I have been exhausted for the last few days. Coughing non-stop, joint pain that wakes me up at night, no appetite, feeling like a whale is sitting on my lungs and chest pains. The small dose of steroids Dr. Williams put me on for my joint pain and inflammation has done nothing for the pain and nothing for the inflammation, but has launched my blood sugars into the 400-600 range. My insulin regimen has been increased by 50%, but is still hardly bringing my glucose down. Just gotta keep on going, I guess....
