Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Hey everyone, I just need to vent right now. Yesterday, Datreon suddenly became lifeless and his fever shot up to 101.3. So, I checked his blood sugar, and it was 271, so a little later I checked it again and it was 378! He had only eaten about 8 oz all day, so I expected it to be low, and I thought that his glucometer must be broken, but I called his doctor and he went straight to the ER. They did all the tests from x-rays to a spinal tap, and could not find anything wrong, They checked his blood sugar, and it was 491!!! So, they transferred him to another hospital. When he arrived at the hospital, his BS was only 41! Luckily he drank 5 oz of juice and it went up to 125. 4hours later, they took it again, and it was 229 then went down to 70. Since then it has remained normal, and they sent him home. The doctors said that they have never seen this before, so they want me to stay home wiht Datreon for a week and monitor his blood sugar, if anything else happens they want him put back into the hospital. (They do not think it is diabetes, because he doesn't have the signds) My employer is saying that they will not let me take this leave. I'm not going to leave Datreon with a chance of something happening, but I don't know what to do about my job has this happened to anyone else? Thanks for listening! le mom to Datreon 1yr 14lb 7oz, periactin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
