Preparing to Leave Again

My sister intially went into the hospital because she was dehydrated as a complication to not being able to keep anything down. They admitted for the week to 1.) figure out why she was so sick and not able to keep food or water in and 2.) to rehydrate her after a long stint of not being able to do so. Once this was accomplished she was released on Friday.

By Friday afternoon, she was having terrible leg cramps and charlie horses mostly in her legs, but effecting her entire body... including her head. Who know a head could have muscle spasms? She was readmitted to the hospital- actually ICU - this time because once she arrived at the hospital she was "DKA". Diabetic Ketoacidosis. They put her on an i.v. of insulin to try and regulate her. Yesterday afternoon she was moved from ICU to a regular room and awaiting news on what comes next. Today she still has muscle spasms which no one yet seems to know why.

And thus, with this going on and my mom continuing to teach classes and attempt to work on her Doctoral Thesis, she has asked me to come down and help. So tomorrow in the morning i leave for yet another trip away from home. I am not expected to return until Oct.

So today, is preparing for this. *sigh* i feel like i am always leaving these days.
