1) There was no mass detected in his pancreas. This is good.
2) His blood sugar is now in the 100s (VERY good) with only 5 units of insulin today
3) He has calcifications in the kidneys, which is indicative of renal failure. Sounds bad, probably IS bad, BUT it can be managed with a change in diet and (tada) another pill!
4) No word on Addison’s. They’re testing him for that tonight.
5) He SHOULD be home tomorrow.

I've been blogging for over 16 years and I'm apparently one of the few over-40 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun and unprofitable. No big.

~~Wife. Dog lover. Slob.~~ I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dogs Ollie and Murphy. I work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
