RE: bloodwork came back, blood sugar elevated???????????????

[Guest guest]

My granddaughter is at Shands Hospital in Gainsville FL. She is 13 years old

and was told this morning that her blood sugar level was elevated and her

being a diabetic was tested. Results came in this aft and it isn't this

condition so, as of now we don't have a clue as to why it was elevated.

Another first she has to wear oxygen when she has her therapy because it

puts too munh strain on her heart. and she must sleep with it on all night.Is

this pretty typical for her age?all this newness is scary for family. If

anyone else has dealt with any issues like these I would like to learn how

to cope and if these conditions continue to get better over time or it it

something we must learnto live with?

Howdee,

If you will send me your name & address I will send you some info &

perhaps

it will elevate any unusually worry .You may do that privately, if you

wish -It is

bevd@... .. We worry naturally about most things of this sort .

Understanding will NOT stop that worry.---- But maybe lower that level of

concern...When we know that they also know that they (docs-medical world)

can & do have meds/treatments to help & /or prevent ------That is when it is

a help toward stress removal.

We have had several younger folks on the list,- who yes..have had these

conditions...The docs will do anything to help heal & ease her

discomfort. So many advances have been made ....each year...Shands is an

excellent center......I know many of them VERY well & have for 18 years.

Stay on it .....ask all the questions to them AND by all means here too, You

will get some helpful information .Do remember that it will be from their

experiences.....all cases are NOT alike, but many are similar. I hold you

all in my special wishes.

LOVE & HUGS,

I am sorry to hear about your grand daughter. I also have a grand

daughter with CF. My grand daughter is only 1 1/2 years old. The

future scares me too. I hope that your grand daughter improves

quickly.
