Pass the hat....

Well....today proved that we aren't quite out of the woods when it comes to falling into a routine.
I went to work this morning and left Lynn in the capable hands of another care taker.  I'm very serious when I say he needs 24/7 care.  We haven't gotten a handle on the blood sugars yet and thats a huge deal.
On the way home I stopped by the store, which is proving to be where I could spend hours reading lables trying to find the best options for us.
When I got home I was greeted by a concerned caretaker and Lynn who was pretty out of it.
I took his blood sugar and it was fine.  I took his blood pressure and it was really low.  Not just kinda low....scary low.
I called his cardiologist, but of course you have to wait for them to call back.
I finally said his only options were an ambulance ride or I would drive him to the ER.
Being in the ER/hospitals is becoming second nature for me...at least there I know we are hooked up to monitors.
The monitored him for about 2 hours and said the ekg was perfect.  During that time the cardio nurse called me back and basically halved all of the heart meds and beta blocker.
He seems to be doing OK.  We'll be taking. Up collections for the medical bills and also reviewing applications for nursing care. :)  Just kidding!
 I'm thankful that I have a family that is close and can be here at the drop of a hat.  I'm also thankful that we have a huge support system of friends who are willing to help out.  If I could tell you what you could do to help out I would!  Right now we are just in survival mode until we can get it all figured out.  Eventually we will...but its going to take time. And we already know how lucky we are to have that extra time!!
