Alright you guys... You are probably here because you are concerned about JJ. Thank you much for your prayers. He is doing well and has been stable. Don't let that statement worry you though bc he never really was comatose or anything. We caught it Easrly. Anyway, He has had one injection of insulin and hasn't needed anymore, yet, thank the Lord. He mostly is upset about the iv lock in his arm and thankfully has been open towards eating the hospital food.

Right now his injection numbers are lenient in a sense, which seems to be good. We are learning more about it as the day progresses but in a nutshell as of now he needs one long acting insulin injection a day, and then other injections based on his current blood sugar needs- which will be checked before meals; and then also we need to calculate his injections based on what we plan to feed him and he eats. This is the more difficult part. Right now the endocrinologist is recommending he recieve on unit of insulin for every 45 g of carbs he eats. This is where I mean it's more lenient. Some kids need one unit per every 15 g of carbs they eat , etc. it's all individual based. This number could change too as the days go on and we figure out more about how his body is handling sugar, the insulin etc.

I'll post more about our diagnosis story when I can.

Hugs and love to everyone praying for us!
