Update

Mike's still in the hospital but may be home tomorrow. They have tried different treatments for the headaches saying to him, "You've tried all the things that work best for most patients". We're aware! There will be more tests tomorrow and Mike is still waiting to hear about a tumor test they did last week. He's had a couple units of insulin due to high blood sugar (this is new), but in the last 48 hours his blood sugar has been fine. They have him eating a diabetic diet and when I went grocery shopping tonight, I paid close attention to carbs. We don't need to throw diabetes into the mix! The doctors ruled out the heart infection and have told Mike he needs to have 2, maybe 3 more surgeries. One will be nasal surgery to clean out the cartilage and remove and biopsy the cysts that have grown post surgery. We knew about this one. The second is a cyst removal on the back of Mike's head. He has had several cysts growing on the back of his head that no dr has been concerned about, but this team thinks Mike should have it removed in case it is a source of hormones. Lastly, it is so unclear what the pituitary is doing - no tumor but not working well and spots that looked "abnormal" during surgery and a biopsy that showed evidence of inflammation. Should the neurosurgeon go back in and remove more of the pituitary? Will this alleviate pressure? Will it shed more light on what is wrong with the pituitary? Is this worth more brain surgery??
Just thought I'd update ya!
