This is an update on Annie and not Mom and Dad! FINALLY we got to get her today. It's a weird situation. They are not sure exactly what IS going on. She did/does have a UTI--(like Dad!)LOL!, BUT---and this is a BIG but!----her blood sugar has gone from a high of 426 on Sat when I took her in to around 160 WITHOUT insulin for the last 5 or 6 days! The doc doesn't know what is going on. He said he is SURE that she WILL be on insulin at some point, but right now it is more dangerous to have her on it than not---low sugar kills quickly, high sugar kills over a long time! In addition to that whatever it is, she has stones in her bladder---like kidney stones, but in the bladder and not the kidney. SOOOOO tomorrow she has surgery to remove those stones because he is still finding blood in her urine which he said is coming from the stones. He's going to remove them tomorrow, she'll continue on her antibiotic, and then he'll see how she does. He doesn't think that she has a tumor on her pancreas because that usually causes high insulin production and not low insulin production. He said she has both of them (there are two docs in this office) baffled---but they're going to keep looking for the answer. When she still had the UTI after taking the antibiotic for over a week, they x-ray'd her and that's when they found the stones. What a mess! We brought her home tonight and the first thing she did was drink an entire bowl of water, go outside and pee, and come back in and drink over half another bowl of water. I then walked her and she peed several times ---not unusual, but then about an hour later she had to go out and peed a ton! (This is what she was doing that made me know she wasn't right a week ago Sat.) Since then she's acted normal! Go figure! Bless her heart. She hates her medicine, so that's going to be fun to give her for ????? Anyway, I'll post how she did tomorrow after her surgery. Love you all, Jeanie
