Re: brother in law in hospital
i didnt have to stay up all night at the hospital. he is now sleeping. his blood sugar is down to 400. which is too high still. he has been awake and talking. but he is all tired out. he is getting sodium and dextrose mix. as well as a insulin drip too. they are also giving him a anti beer medicine. is best i can call it. its so he doesnt have a seziure due to his nightly beer that he isnt getting. thats the way it was told to me. i think all is going to be fine. they just need to get his blood sugar levels down and him rehydrated. thanks fo rall your support. my mother in law is really wound up my wife said. i couldnt sit still in the hospital. im glad my wife wanted to come home for the night. there was no way i was goign to be able to sleep in the hospital.

Re: brother in law in hospital
Best of luck to your brother in law Craig..thoughts and prayers are with you. Sugar and alcohol don't mix...screws alot of things up(having to come to terms with that myself)in the body. Hope everything turns out for best 

I've had enough and I'm not alone
