There was quite a bit more activity on the floor today. More people out of their rooms walking around like us. It was interesting to see more people out and about instead of staying in their room.
Tim’s fatigue continues. It is something that he will be dealing with for quite a while (months) but we are trying to stay as active as possible between bouts of sleepiness. He is sleeping well at night despite all the naps during the day, so that is a good thing!
He was able to go without his IV pole for several hours this afternoon and we took advantage of being free from it. We walked the halls and he took a shower unencumbered by the pole. It’s amazing how much better it makes you feel to be free from it for a bit.
When we first started this journey, Tim had been able to control his diabetes with diet and exercise. With all the steroids and other medications he was being given, he was having to take insulin several times a day. They have not needed to use steroids here and he has not had to have insulin since being admitted. They even decided today that he no longer needs to be poked and tested before every meal. They will monitor his blood sugar with his blood tests each morning.
We have had several people inquire, so we have added both Tim and Cassie’s addresses to the “Ways to Help” tab on this website. We welcome your notes of encouragement!!
PRAYER REQUESTS:
Tim is starting to lose his appetite, so please pray that he is able to continue to eat even when he does not feel like it.
PRAISES:
That Tim is still able to get some good rest over night despite all the day naps!
That he was able to spend most of the afternoon not tied to his IV pole!
Praises for no insulin. Tim did not want to have to be on that long term and we are thankful that he is doing well enough to not need it right now!
