Okay, here we go again!

I went with John to the doctor's appointment yesterday. We told him that the nerve block is working but that John is still getting sick and having nausea and sometimes vomiting. John told him that his blood sugar levels are getting better, even that morning it was down to 60 (scary for John, normal for the rest of us). The doc said that was good, he did not think that John would get down that low, Whew!

Bad part is that the Doc said that he talked to an old college buddy who is a GI doctor and they think that John should have the LapBand. Well we have been down that road before, been to at least 4 different GI group classes and each one was: A) Too expensive, B) Feel that pancreatitis is a big risk, C) if you are a violent vomiter (John is) it may not be the procedure for you.

So Doc wants John to have this procedure, he feels that and also has seen other patients, that after losing significant weight they have led better lives, many medical problems gone, and so forth. Now, just where are we going to find the money do to this? No money tree in the backyard! So here we stand (or lay down in John's case). I guess we pray and let the Lord lead us where we need to go.
