Hi Lynne,
Since I was gone, I'm just seeing this today. Do you have an update on your mom? I hope she is doing better!

Lynne, how is your Mom?

Thank you Diana for asking about my mom. she is suppose to go back to the eye Dr. this Thursday but not sure she will make it, depends on the weather.
Otherwise she is doing good, being on such a high dose of Perdnisone it makes her sugar run very high, sometimes 300-400 and has been even higher than that when she was takeing care of her own meds, they are watching her closley where she lives and adjusting her insulin to keep it down, it mostly runs high in the afternoon. They will taper down some this week and continue to taper her down to a dose that will keep her eyes stable, providing it works this time.
we still have a long road ahead of us to see if it will work, i just wish this weather would cooperate so we could make her app., her Dr is about 60 miles away in Indy and i hate driving in the snow, her brother may take her instead.

Hope you're able to make the appt. with your Mom. Hopefully the main highways will be okay by Friday. Mom has an appt. with the heart dr. on Friday too. We may have to reschedule.

I hope both of you make your appointments with your Moms. So much worry, and snow too!

You are both such good daughters.

Gosh! I hope the snow doesn't prevent her from getting to the appt. I sure hope the predinisone helps! I know what you mean by it messing up the blood sugar. Gary was on prednisone for several months last year and it about drove us CRAZY! He had to take so much extra insulin!!!

Lynne, at least your Mother's in a place where they can monitor her blood sugar instead of you having to do it all the time. It sounds like they're taking good care of her!! You're a good daughter and I hope that your Mom appreciates all the good care and love you have for her.
