I could not have asked for a better day in the hospital.  My breathing has remained better all day, and with the four different insulins, my blood sugar has stayed under 300 most of the day, just now it was 316.

This morning after the PA from the pulmonologist office came over and gave me her news, the hospitalist who is doing my diabetes management said that the fourth insulin that he added seemed to have really helped a lot.  He said it was the first 24 hours that my blood sugar had not spiked way out of control.  So had a shot of that extra insulin again and he is going up another 10 units on my lantus (the long lasting insulin).  He thinks with all the steroids that I have had, even though my blood sugar is high, that we are keeping as good of control over it as we can.

Then a doctor from the pulminologist office came by and he actually gave me a tentative go home date.  Tomorrow, as the PA discussed we are going to reduce the IV steroids a little more, and see how I tolerate that.  Then on Tuesday morning the plan is to not give me any IV steroids, just oral steroids, and watch me through the day.  If I do not have a set back then I get to go home sometime Tuesday afternoon, probably.

 I call that a good day, as far as being in the hospital goes.

Have a great night, Neighbors!!
