I spoke too soon

Well...I spoke too soon. It's late on Wed. and Craig's still in the hospital. Today he felt pretty good but by lunch and the time we thought he was coming home, his blood sugar shot off the charts (over 500...the portable machine couldn't read it) and they needed to check it again through the lab. They did and it was 560. Then his heart rate went from 51 this morning to about 41 in the afternoon. The Drs. decided about 5 pm that he better stay over and they injected 12 units of insulin in him and ordered an EKG. The insulin didn't make a huge difference and his blood sugar was still in the 300s. So they put him on an insulin drip. The EKG showed a heart rate of 39 and they have hooked him up to a machine to track his heart rate overnight. Tomorrow they'll probably call in a cardiologist and see what might be going on with his heart. I've come home now to catch up on work, see the kids (and Scout) and sleep a little. Craig is comfortable and hopefully will sleep better tonight even though they'll be taking his blood sugar every hour! He was hoping to come home so he could sleep uninterrupted. You just never know what is going to happen...stay tuned!
