Lorii is still in hospital, but will hopefully be home soon. Perhaps even later today.
The treatment for her MS is over for now and it is only the fallout from the steroids that is keeping her in. Before the treatment Lorii was a Type 2 diabetic, managing her sugar with diet and drugs. Unfortunately a side effect of the steroids is to send your blood sugar way on up, and for Lori it has just not come down. She is now waiting on Diabetes Specialist nurses to come train her on how to manage her blood sugar with self injected insulin. Whether this promotion to Type 1 diabetes is permanent is unclear, but they won't let her out of the hospital until the nurses have signed off that she is okay.
The doctors have signed of on her MS medication. Another self injected drug called Rebif. Lorii will have to attend a clinic for training on that too. The poor girl is going to look like a human pin cushion.
