JJ is doing good. They are working to tighten up the range numbers a bit and figure out exactly how much insulin he should have for how many carbs he eats.
We went for a walk, colored in the play room, and took a shower. I think my thank you gift to everyone here will be a zen coloring book for parents!! There was none to be found when I wanted one so bad!! Hahaah
After the shower JJ said he was ready for a finger and tummy pokey. I was so surprised. The last one was dramatic to say the least. Praise the Lord. He was ready and brave. It was my turn to try and it took me two times :( but he did awesome. He said I'm ready to be brave mom. Bless his heart. We are waiting for the tummy pokeys (one is a long acting insulin he will take every night before bed, pharmacy is prepping it ) then this guy is going to pass out I think. He so tired and just mom, I keep waiting to be brave for the tummy pokeys. He has definitely had his ups and downs as any 4 year old would so he is pooped. Just so amazed at his strength tonight.
I have a big book of diabetes lying in front of me with scary things like 'if a seizure or complete loss of consciousness occurs, it's usually necessary to give a shot of glucagon. If no response in TEN TO FIFTEEN minutes, may need to call 911' may need to?!!?after 10-15 minutes? What the? This is mind boggling and I'm exhausted but scared to go home, like I might mess up or something, but also know we need to get this down so we can help him to continue to thrive and be the amazing awesome boy he is.
Keep praying. Hugs and love to you all.
