Hubby's home!

Finally, after a long week my hubby is home from the hospital. He was one sick puppy. Lesson learned........visit your doctor on a regular basis. Matt was anti-doctor and avoided them at all cost. Final diagnosis is type 1 diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. His overall cholesterol was over 700 and his triglycerides 7130. They figured he has been walking around for at least 3 months with blood sugars averaging around 250. He finally ate his first meal today and did well with it. They sent him home tonight around 5 pm. It is so nice to have him home. He will have to take another week to recuperate. Our family is in for an overall lifestyle change, but are definitely here for him. Well....time for his meds. Thanks for all the prayers! We are so thankful!

I am so glad to hear Matt is home! Jamie Wollenschlager told me that he had been in the hospital and I have had you and your family in my prayers ever since! Let me know if there is anything I can do. I hope ya'll had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Take Care!

Glad he's home! That is high cholesterol! Mine is super high as well but not nearly that high. I'm still breastfeeding so meds aren't safe yet.

Hope the adjustments go smoothly!
