Day 497

     I called the clinic first thing this morning and spoke to a nurse (who then spoke to Dr. Dana).  No one is sure what is going on with Katie at this point with her blood sugar, but they said this is not normal, and it should not be happening.  The nurse just called back and said they are trying to get her in with a PCH Endocrinologist.  Their "goal" is to get Katie in by the end of the week.
     When I brought up this concern to Dr. Dana last week, it wasn't something I had thought about before hand, or had planned on discussing.  We have discussed this concern before, with a few different doctors - even the doctors in the hospital - because Katie had an "episode" while she was hospitalized.  All the previous doctors acted like it was no big deal, not a big concern, nothing to worry about.  So, like I said, we assumed this was a normal part of the chemo process - how would we know any differently?  I am so glad I voiced my concern (once again).  I know I was prompted by the spirit to say something.  I am glad Dr. Dana "heard" me, and I am glad she is our main doctor.  I am glad we can get Katie into another doctor to see why this is happening, and to see what can be done about it.
