Angela did get to come home Thursday!!
However, it's not all good. Her liver enzymes, bilirubin, and blood sugars continue to be greatly elevated, and her hemoglobin & hematocrit are well below what they should be.
Thursday evening, Angela's blood glucose was 475 and she was feeling bad and clammy. By phone, the nurses at Mercy advised me to take her to the ER, so we spent about four hours at the local ER, St. Elizabeth's, where she got insulin and some fluid for rehydration.
Today she saw her primary care physician who said her liver is so bad, she wants to focus only on that until it's better. She stopped all meds and supplements, even multi-vitamins, and put her on only insulin, iron, folic acid, and Metamucil. She's also sending Angela to a liver specialist -- just where and when hasn't yet been decided.
This evening Angela's blood sugar was again very elevated, but we had the insulin and instructions, and could take care of it.
Angela wanted to go to her Bible study, but she was just too tired. She also wants to go to Sabbath School, church, and potluck tomorrow. I have convinced her that is too much, and so we'll try for church.
God has healed her lungs; now we're praying for that same healing for her liver. I know he'll answer us according to His love and what He knows is best.
