Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Testing so far reveals no bleeds, but MRI is ordered and a shit ton more testing to happen. They have admitted him and we will be in for a long night. Weakness on left side, T1D for 52 years (age 64), stage 4 CKD, memory and confusion issues. Holiday weekend means less doctors than normal. Feeling pretty helpless.
Thank you for the update, anon.
I’m not a doctor, but the absence of bleeds seems like a positive sign. The MRI will show any blockages and I’m sure they’re looking carefully at his blood work (electrolytes, iodine levels, any other deficiencies or imbalances). The fact that it’s weakness and not paralyzation is also an indication that you’re catching a possible stroke at an early stage. T1D (and T2D, for that matter) are rough on the body’s organs over time including (and perhaps especially) the kidneys and the doctors will definitely be including this knowledge as they continue to diagnose your husband and formulate a plan for his recovery. Fifty-two years of T1D - your husband is a strong man.
We’ll continue to pray for you both. 🙏✝️
