Update

Cliff is off the ventilator and responding, when I talk to him. I want to thank you all for your prayers. I guess I should tell you how he got in this shape. Well when I came home that day, Cliff had ate 7 or 8 Popsicles , That's a big no-no. He's diabetic and on dialysis, he is not suppose to have sugar or over 8oz. of fluid a day, just enough to take his meds. Maybe just maybe he will stick to his strict diet this time. I told him tonight I was throwing away all his popscicles, he didn't like that, so I knew he knew what I was saying. Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers, it has been a comfort to me knowing that you all were praying for him.

  2. I've been thinking about you all day. I see my son struggling with a diet because of his heart. It has got to be so hard to keep with it all the time. I really feel for Cliff and understand how he could have over done it.

    What an awful scare after such a wonderful Christmas. I hope he comes around completely and desides life is more important then food.

    You must be frazzled after the last 24 hours. Get some rest and let us know how he's doing.

  5. Continued Thoughts and Prayers. Happy to hear Cliff is on the mend. If you haven't seen this here is a GREAT cookbook "Living Well on Dialysis". It is a free download: http://www.epogen.com/patient/patient_info/educational_materials/dialysis_cookbook/toc.jsp

    I have made a couple of things out of this cookbook. I have a friend that is diabetic and on a waiting list for a kidney. A group of us took turns making meals for her from this cookbook. The "Fried" chicken recipe is to die for!!!

    Take care and keep us posted.

  8. I just got home from work and hurried to check on Cliff. So glad he is doing better. My son Justin is 23 and a diabetic since he was 15, so I know how that goes! One time when he was in college, he let his battery go dead on his insulin pump. HE thought he had the flu and didn`t test. He ended up in ICU for 24 hours with blood sugars over 1000!! Don`t they just drive you nuts! :)
    Give Cliff a hug and then slap his fingers!

  13. Oh I am so sorry to hear Cliff had to be hospitalized...know the feeling! I was also on dialysis for three years (transplant 6/08) and a diabetic and yes , I too, have done stupid things! but drinking too much fluid only causes problems! including cramping, etc.. take care of each other, and let's hope this year will be better!
    Hugs
