Poor Ian!!!! Atleast now you will have a sense that his sugars can drop fast

he's just like Maddy.

And the in answer to ur question the only reason I was able to hang in there

for 3 weeks was because I had all you guys calling and emailing that was my

sanity.

I'll pray for Ian tonight!

Keep me posted and give him big hugs and kisses

Glad to hear he is better - we had the exact same thing though

Emerence's sugars didn't drop so low. I know, I don't know how

parents handle longer stays either! Those 2 days with Emerence did

me in to....give the guy a hug!

Man, sorry you and Ian had to go into the hospital. That really

stinks. Hopefully he will stay well now and that will be all behind

you. Seems like everyone is getting sick. I guess it is just that

time of year! Ugh. came home with a headache today and even

took a nap! That is so unheard of so I knew he wasn't feeling well.

But, he is up now and says he is feeling better.

I know how scared you were with Ian's blood sugar being that low and

seeing him that lethargic. scared the crap out of me two

years ago with a drastic blood sugar drop. He was less the 20 by the

time he was in the ER. Talk about scary! So, I know what you went

through. Nothing like seeing so many people hovering over your child

at once. Each one with their own job! Ugh, what a nightmare. And,

was unresponsive, like Ian. Let's hope we never have to go

through that again...right!?

Email if you need to talk or anything!

You poor thing. JEEZ!!!! I am glad you guys are at home now at least. How is

Ian this afternoon? More like his old self? I bet you will never again be so

happy as to see toothpaste all over the house!!!!!

I was concerned when you weren't around via email this weekend. But as I

mentioned, it seems a gremlin was getting my emails so I was thinking maybe

yours went that way (I'll tell you more about that later).

Rest is in order for you now and a chance to come down off the adrenaline

rush you have been feeling for the last 2-3 days!!! Take it easy tonight,

get hubby to pamper you (!!) and hug Ian! I am so glad it worked out. As you

said, I think Chrissy deserves some kind of medal for doing it as long as

she did!!!!

You are one terrific mom!

Talk to you soon.

Jodi - hey - I knew you had enough on your plate! Thank you though.

Ian's not eating or drinking that great today. I've even resorted to

leaving something to drink in his crib. Throwing all the rules out

the door. I plan on asking Dr. H to give me a prescription for an

ACCU Check. If she refuses (which I doubt she will) I will demand

that the Pediatrician get me one (yes demand and I already mentioned

to them that I would DEMAND one - just to let them get a headstart

with their thinking) He's just not been himself. I'm watching him

VERY CLOSELY though as you can imagine. For the first time in a long

time - I'm wishing this week would just blur by me so that we can get

to New York and talk to Dr. H. I'm a little worried about him. He

lost a pound. I took him to the Gastroenterologist today to get a

weight check. He was 21 lbs 10 oz on Sept 27 and today he was 20 lbs

4 oz. He feels skinny again. BUT, I'm not going to allow myself to

get upset. I almost did just now - and then I remembered the new

shoes I bought today! Yep yep yep! Love my new sparkly blue shoes!

Yep yep yep!

Thanks for thinking of us. Talk to you soon.

In the future, if Ian is sick as he was, do NOT go home after a day or

two. Ian MUST stay in the hospital until he is eating as he was

before he got sick. I'll bet anything that he has ketones or his

blood sugar is not up where it should be. Don't get me wrong - you

did what you thought was right, but take it from us old timers. These

kids rarely are ready to go home as soon as you think they are. They

have to be eating normally for at least 24 hours. Now you are seeing

what happens when things are rushed. At least Ian has you to keep on

him and to get him to drink something, anything.

Dr. H. will set things straight for you. You will be so happy that

she is on your side in the near future. And Ian will be okay. It

just is a setback. Keep that in mind.
