9-1-1



Please pardon the inaccuracies, Thomas would not type this so I had to type what he told me.

Saturday night ... 10:00 pm

Lois gets up, perhaps to go to the bathroom, and she falls in the bedroom. Being diabetic, Thomas thought that it was her glucose level. She is very stubborn+ and refused glucose checking. Thomas also had a concern as she has had heart attacks before.

He called 911

The firetruck arrived first and they checked her heart -- no problem there. Shortly thereafter, the EMS paramedics arrived. All packing into the bedroom, they checked her blood, which read 55. While that's very low, she's been lower. They were going to put sugar in her mouth, but she refused. They hooked her up to an IV and in 15 minutes, she returned to a thinking Lois.

She had no significant injuries from the fall.

Well, all in all, scary, but not disastrous. Lois is resting this morning.
Tom and Lois missed church this morning.

Thomas woke to a furnace that was out, so he is waiting for the furnace people to come to fix the unit.
