OH DEAR!

This morning after blood work was done...the doctor came to tell us that Mr. T had sugar in his urine & blood! Not a good thing! Mr. T. did put on a lot of weight since last year. The doctor's are well aware that most of the weight gain was caused by cancer drugs.... kidney and liver dysfunction and being sedentary. Last night he had to fast once again so they could test his blood and urine this morning. Again they saw signs of diabetes....which we must take control over right now or else. Mr. T. just can't afford to have any more complications. So no more treats or pop. He can have one diet drink a day.....and no candy or junk food. He doesn't mind....as long as he can have real food from the cafeteria and not on the Children's Menu...he's happy. We are hoping that the Discharge Team can find a way for Mr. T. to get his chelation therapy at home while we wait for the cancer blasts to increase.
Slow and steady wins the race!

Mr. T, y'all keep after them to let you eat cafeteria food instead of Children's Menu!
