Not coming home today

K was sleepy when I stopped by this morning, but became more interactive after I'd been there awhile. She had an awful low BG last night, caused by the insulin IV drip that didn't get stopped soon enough. This morning her BG was off the chart in the other direction. She's not coming home tonight, most likely. They want to continue investigating the sky high white cell count, difficult to control blood glucose, and low oxygen, all happening at the same time. The oncologist has been called. He was supposed to get her started on a new anti-leukemia drug after she came home from Life Care, but that still hasn't been done. Could be that, or an infection, or...? They've taken blood for a culture, but that takes time (days) to grow.
