GLUCOSE TEST

Carl is getting his glucose test, along with a series of additional tests this morning at the VA. They are continuing to try and find out what is going on with him. The doctors are no further than they were a couple weeks ago. Tomorrow, he meets with his neurosurgeon. I am thinking of joining him.

Although Carl is not any further in receiving an additional diagnosis, he is experiencing additional symptoms. Please pray for this. Carl and I have noticed the amount of his body hair is increasing, his toenails and fingernails are growing at a faster rate, he still has short-term memory issues and some short-temper issues, he is still tired all the time and most recently, his eye has begun twitching again. The reason his eye used to twitch is because the tumor was pressing on his optic nerve. He was instructed to go off his Cabergoline (the purpose of this medicine is to shrink the brain tumor). He has only been off the medicine for a couple weeks, so it seems odd that his eye would begin twitching again this quickly.
