Not much in TrixieVille....happy appy, snuggles, bright eyes, feistiness (yes, that means a few issues with this morning's gelcap, but it did eventually go down.).

I found out yesterday that my Dad's BGs are elevated now. Ugh. It could be chemo-induced - he's on a pretty strong steroid a few days in each chemo cycle (dexamethasone), and I understand that it is not uncommon for it to cause elevated BGs. And, in my research, I see that the markers also often elevate with uncontrolled glucose. I don't think I've ever prayed so hard for a diagnosis of steroid-induced diabetes before, because that would be so much better than some of the alternatives we could be facing. He meets with an endocrinologist on Monday, and we get the scan results on Tuesday. This is a man who, until last year, barely ever had to take an aspirin. Now he has 3 different kinds of cancer, glaucoma, and high BGs...:(...

AND....it's frikken' s***ing. We're expecting 3-6". The previous piles of s*** were finally ALMOST gone....now this. Unbelievable.

I'm at work (probably closing early), so I'd better get working. Have a great day, L&LL!

Nice green Trixie! Be a good girl for your mama bean.

I am so sorry about your dad's BGs. Hopefully it is just the steroids.. I know it is hard not to think the worst, especially with everything that has happened over the last year. Lots of prayers coming for your family, and lots of hugs.

((((AMY))))
 
((((Amy))))) Sending tons and tons more vines for you and your dad and family- you will be in our thoughts and prayers for sure! Good girl Trixie!
 
Prayers and vines for your dad. I wish I could also send you some California sun. I'm glad Trixie is being a good girl.
 
Sending prayers and healing vines for your dad. Wishing the best for you and your family.
Glad Trixie is doing good.
Take Care, Peg and Toby

I'm so sorry about the elevated BGs your DF is experiencing. I know you can't help but imagine the worst. but try hard to focus on positive thoughts - it's better for you, for him and even for Trixie. You can't change anything and you are just going to exhaust yourself by Monday. You have tons of prayers and vines headed to you and your father from your LL family. Breathe deeply and DON'T look out the window!

:bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Oh, Amy I wish I could wave a magic wand and take away some of your anxiety. Stress. Fear. But I can't. I can just send :bighug: and tons of good wishes for your DF. One step at a time. One step at a time.

And I agree with Tricia. Don't look out the window!
