Steroids and Antibiotics

I hope you all had a wonderful Sunday. Ours was quiet. We had to cancel the birthday dinner. My better half is sick and had to go to the emergency room yesterday. The doctor prescribed steroids and antibiotics. He should be feeling better in a few days. He has bronchitis and his lungs are clogged so he's not feeling very comfortable. I have two birthday cakes sitting in the refrigerator. One is cream cheese and the other chocolate. They look yummy and tempting but maybe the birthday people will come by and pick up their cakes.. If not I'll try to make room in the freezer. They look too good to go to waste. In spite of my better half not feeling well we've had a nice lazy day. He's rested a lot and so have I. Tomorrow stormy weather is coming in. Not too bad just in general. Everyone sleep well tonight. See you tomorrow.

Thank you Hatley. I think he's feeling a little better but the steroids have shot his blood sugar up.

Sounds like time for someone to take some Airborne.

@celticeagle I had never heard of it. Good to know. He should ask his doctor about it. I'll make a note.

@RubyHawk This is a serious problem with steroids, I hope he will not need to take those medications for many days.

@LadyDuck It is a problem. His doctor understands his health and says he must have the steroids to clear his lungs. He must takes higher doses of insulin while taking steroids. He takes them for 10days.

I think he'll be okay in a few days but the steroids are running his sugar up too high. He's taking extra insulin.

I'm sorry your better half isn't feeling well. I hope the bronchitis clears up soon and his lungs are better. Those cakes would be too tempting. I hope they pick up their cakes or you put them in the freezer.

I think the antibiotics and steroids will do the trick. It's not good though for his sugar to run high. The cakes won't go to waste. If they don't pick them up and they won't fit in the freezer we'll share them.

His steroids are for ten days and antibiotics for 20 days. They seem to be helping.

Oh Ruby, I'm sorry to hear your husband is sick! That bronchitis is going around, I've heard others say they've contracted this and others say they have a cold. This is the best time, to get our flu shot, too! I will pray about this and talk to you tomorrow. Rest is such a good remedy, in most cases

I think he's a little better today other than his blood sugar going sky high from the steroids.

@kobesbuddy He has to take steroids every time he gets bronchitis, which is every year and lt always runs his sugar high but his doctor still thinks it's best to clear his lungs. He takes more insulin as needed
