So glad you got Bob in to dr. I was really concerned. My nephew was 15 & hurt himself working on car & ended up having 2 fingers removed because the poisoning had gone up his arm, he had throbbing & red streaks. So Bob is where he is getting treatment he needs. When he gets home he needs to change his socks daily with clean cotton nonbinding (not tight at top) socks. Diabetics have to be so careful of their feet. Check his shoes for any rough spots inside & might get a pair of foot cushions, not the cheap ones but the rubber on bottom veleur(like velvet) on top. Nothing in gel as it causes my feet to have more problems. They slip into shoes & are very easy to wash by hand. They give lot of comfort & might help easy backaches too. Dr. Scholl's are excellent & about $12-14 but worth it. I have 3 pairs & so have them in different shoes. I put a pair of the $1.99 ones over these(so expensive ones don't wear out so fast) & so far they are about 3 yrs old & still good. My feet are tender & these make walking comfortable. So hope this helps, if he doesn't wear socks then the cheap insoles need washing by hand often or replacing to keep shoes sanitary. Ask dr. if he should use any powders, don't know about that for diabetics. More prayers & so glad he listened to you, Luna!! Jan

I'm waiting for DD to do the update on Nathan's CarePage, then I'll post the update here. He was diagnosed a year ago today. Leslie

Thanks everyone! patti43-I do have a large house,4 bedrooms and 2 baths,2 living areas.Since DGS and his GF left and DGD will be moving out to live with her dad this week,I'll have 2 extra bedrooms.One for them and one for other guests if that should ever happen.LOL DH and I have bedrooms on opposite ends of the house from where DS and DDIL will be so we will all have our own space.Yes, DS will be a big help to DH with all the manitenence (Is that spelled right? My spell check says no but shows that as the spelling,strange) that needs to be done and if we wanted to take a break they would be able to handle the business for a few days. Linda-Babies are due Aug. 17 but I'll bet she won't go that long.Just trying to keep them in there as long as possible.

Today started good even tho mom wouldn't cooperate. We are thinking possible stroke. BP went very low after lunch. Left corner of her mouth drew in. Couldn't hold her head up eyes going all different directions. Very little urine output. In fact still didn't have enough for a lab sample at 8pm. Dr ordered CT scan which came back negative. At a good lunch for her. Hoping it's just the meds but don't know. Thanks everyone for all the good wishes.
