8. She was released from the hospital over the weekend.

They didn't find anything on the ct scan or other tests that they did. She did have a few days where they administered some kind of slow drip IV "cocktail" that is supposed to control severe migraines. It had benedryl, 2 kinds of migraine meds, and an anti-nausea med.

She worries me so much. We love the girl. She complements my son in every way and he complements her as well. What drives me nuts is that she is diabetic (type 2) but doesn't take it seriously at all. The way she thinks is that she might as well eat what she wants, let her pancreas totally fail and then spend the rest of her life on a continuous glucose monitor and insulin pump. I'm type 2 as well, so I do know a bit (and so does my son) of how to check glucose levels, what to watch for re: highs/lows, and what the complications can be from disregarding care. The first thing I asked when he said they were heading to the ER was did he check her blood levels and did they have a list of the meds she was on.

I suspect she'll be my daughter-in-law some day. I really wish she'd take better care of herself.
