Smidgeon of relief on 2 points:
1. He is 3 points under, on a 20-point scale, having Type 2 diabetes, so he only has pre-diabetes, and they will work with him after these other dramas are resolved, even though two people have told me diabetes can cause dizziness and falls and nausea.
2. On a 20-point scale, he is at 16.8 for having kidney failure, so he is still 3 points under "renal failure" but that number has gone to a bad place, and they'll have to address that, later, too.
3. The triglycerides of just under 600 when 150 is the max--that is still on the "bad" list. It means his liver isn't doing its job, so that will need dealing with.
But mainly, I wanted to cheer you up with: (a) It's not quite type 2 diabetes! yay!; and (2) it's not quite renal failure! yay!; and (3) all these problems can wait a little while, till next week when the Oncologists from Boone and Wake will convene over what to do, and does he qualify for chemo.
We're currently staring at the phone waiting for the call to go to Boone for the brain scan. We're calm. We're good. Our dogs are fine. The scan should be like an hour. So we're gonna have a great weekend! May God bless you for your love and care. And if you don't believe in God, may the Pastafarian Spaghetti Monster be your friend!
Love,
Beth (calm today)
