ONE MORE DAY...

Dewayne finally has his surgery tomorrow if all goes well. He got his sugar under control - it was down to 127 today which is the best it's ever been. His eyes are bothering him a bit, but that's all related to his diabetes. If he keeps his sugar at that level, his eyes will adjust over time. We had to go pick up some antiseptic cloths and he has 4 cloths tonight to rub down with, one for his legs, one for his arms, one for his torso, and then one for the surgical area after he showers. Then in the morning, no shower - no food, water, he can barely brush his teeth and he has 2 cloths to use, one for his torso, and one for the surgical area. I thought that was kinda weird, but I think it's being used in conjunction with the precautions that the hospital takes to prevent staff infection and stuff like that.

And there's only 2 more days of school left - I forgot to say this week that Hayden was commended on the 2nd part of his TAKS test as well as the first. The first part was language arts, the secong part was math. I was so proud of him, he did really well despite all the pressure he was under. So after Thurs. summer begins... o boy!! I've already used up 1/2 of my vacation to be off with Dewayne while he recovers, and he has used up his whole vacation and then some... so there goes any vacation that we wanted to have - that trip to Carlsbad is gone. Maybe we can fit it in a weekend trip instead... it would still be nice to go. I just don't see it happening after the $1500 copay though.

Okay - signing off for now....
