Randall is in my prayers. You have been through so much. May God bless you both.
Glad to hear everything is treatable. Put rocks in his recliner.Originally Posted by KittKatt
Update on Randall:
First off, they found out from the sleep study that was done on him about two weeks ago that he quits breathing about 38 times during an hour of sleep (he has sleep apnia)- which would explain part of why he's so tired all the time: he's not getting enough proper rest. The doc is gonna write out a prescription for him to get a new C-Pap, since his old one is basically shot. He also has a slight blockage in an artery in his neck: they said it's not too serious just yet, but it's gonna have to be taken care of soon. They're also adjusting some of his medications - mainly for the diabetes & blood pressure: they seem to think that his erratic blood pressure and elevated blood sugar levels are causing problems. They also said one of his lungs is elongated, which is having an effect on his breathing and all. They found a tumor, but said it's non-malignant.
I think that's everything. Thankfully, everything's treatable.Now if I could just get him to quit sticking all that crap in his mouth that he eats, and get him to get off his butt and out of the recliner to get some exercise like he's supposed to.I'm sure that would help quite a bit.
