The last two days have been hectic, to say the least.
We got two hours of sleep on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning because Jill had extremely high blood sugars in the hospital. (We found out later her insulin pump was malfunctioning, which was fixable and somewhat of a relief because we initially thought the sugars were caused by another physical problem).
I went home Wednesday morning to clean bottles, take a quick nap and get ready for work. The “get ready for work” part never happened, because Jill called me to say that her doctors were transferring her to Iowa City for tests on her seizures.
So my mom and I accompanied Jill to Iowa City, where they have some of the best doctors in the United States. They’ve been doing testing for two days now, and we’re about ready to turn in for the night.
My mom went home to Farley for a day, but she’ll likely return Friday to spend the day and night with Jill. I need to get back to D.M. to work, because I’ve already missed two days and I’m feeling guilty as hell for that. I’ll return to Iowa City on Saturday and Sunday, my scheduled days off this week.
Luckily there’s a computer about 15 feet from Jill’s room here at UIHC, so I was able to sneak here for a quick blog post.
Jill’s back pain is generally better, but she has a bad spasm or two each day. Tonight her pain is particularly bad.
So the pain is still an issue, as are the seizures. Jill had 3 or 4 of those today.
Please continue your prayers.
