Monday-Well, I was really hoping for a better start to this week. I was all set to leave for work and did Cody's finger stick for his blood sugars and he was very high again. So I went to work thinking I would need to leave but they adjusted his insulin again and I jetted back home to give him a dose and then checked him throughout the day. I left an email for Dr. K last night and she agreed to switch him back from prednisone to hydrocortisone. He seems to be more affected mentally (he is very cranky and irritable) and then it messes with his blood sugar. Not sure why it was even switched back but I am thinking that was a mistake. I have not been going to Sloan and I think it was just an oversight and switched on accident. So back on hydrocortisone but not sure how long it will take for the prednisone to get out of his system. We will continue to monitor sugars and see if we have to go in tomorrow.
