Her blood sugar has been rising but I think they've allowed her to make a few poor dietary choices like a yeast roll as well as mashed potatoes for supper last night. We won't let that happen again. Dr. Yedla was just by and changed her diet to be more restrictive. Dr. Yedla indicated that the bypass surgery is almost always indicated for diabetics rather than stents. So, that confirms that this is likely the path that we're on. Dr. Yedla also wrote orders for Sally to get a consultation and education from a diabetes expert, particularly about nutrition.
All the more important that we build up her strength and her breathing capacity prior to surgery.
So, today, with the nursing help, we will try to get her up more and beginning to walk around. This should improve her chances of having the surgery sooner rather than later.
