She improved, though has suffered some hyperglycemia from steroids.  She was weaned off O2 by 12/13/23.  I assumed care on hospital day 4 from Dr. On my first day with her, I stopped her steroids (she received the dose in the AM before I stopped it) due to improved oxygenation.  Glipizide was added and insulin continued. She ate poorly at dinner, was hypoglycemic.  This morning, hypoglycemic again and NPH/glipizide held.  I suspect she's close to d/c once we can demonstrate normoglycemia and adequate PO intake (she didn't want to eat this morning.).
