There's been plenty of sickness at our house lately. Kaitlyn was first with a stomach virus on Friday a week and a half ago. It was so mild we weren't really sure it was a virus. Will was home last Tuesday. We thought it might be what he ate. When Ryan came down with it, it was officially dubbed a virus. Then Will started coughing. Ben followed and he ran a fever yesterday and was so very cranky!!! Gene hasn't felt well either. All of this was fine, until tonight.
Now, after going to AWANA & exposing everyone, Andrew has a fever. His throat is red & he doesn't want to swallow. His BG was over 300 when he got home just after 7, so we corrected. I rechecked him after taking his temp around 8:30 & he was 62. After juice & 15 minutes, his BG dropped to 58. I'm waiting for another recheck -BG 123, so that's okay for now.
I still get so nervous when Andrew is sick! I just remember how quickly his diabetes went crazy with strep last Spring. Oh, and did I mention that we're supposed to get snowed in tonight? Please pray for my little guy! Thanks!
P.S. Happy Valentine's Day!
So far, Andrew is doing okay. He still feels horrible & has a very sore throat. His BG is responding to corrections & ketones are staying just above negative & not quite trace. The pediatrician is opening at 10 even though the roads are covered with ice. Ben was up coughing in the night & has a nice wheeze too. We plan to take both boys in.
