Jeremiah 29:11

“For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you,  plans to give you hope and a future.”

Follow up appointments at Mayo today were good. We started the morning with the diabetes/nutrition doctor. Dad will probably start an InPen for his insulin. This pen will allow him to give himself ½ units of insulin if he doesn’t need the whole unit. Dad’s Dexcom patch, that he wears on his arm, has been helping with monitoring his blood sugars and it has been easier than pricking himself in the finger.

Dad had an ultrasound paracentesis next. They removed a ½ liter of fluid from his abdomen area using a needle. They were not concerned with this fluid… it was normal body cavity fluid (just pooled a little more in dad). This happens with the type of surgery dad had.

Lastly, we met with the oncologist. She said that dad’s blood work came back looking good. She also took dad’s feeding tube out! We hopefully won’t have to go back to Mayo until his next appointment in July!
