Well, the past couple of days have been exhausting! Lauren loves to throw us curve balls and she threw us a good one yesterday at church. Her blood sugar had been fine early that morning and she had eaten before we left for church but during Sacrament when I checked her bloodsugar it was 36 and things went downhill quickly from there. Long story short is that she dropped even lower, passed out in the hall at church, we were able to get her aroused, give her polycose, rush her home, access her port and give her D50 to stabilize her bloodsugar. She has been pretty stable ever since but does not feel good at all. I have spoken at length to both of her doctors and I am taking her to see her pediatrician tomorrow morning. Both Dr. Covington and Dr. Muenzer think that she will need to be hospitalized because something is causing the low blood sugar drops but we just don't know what. I am hoping that we can do some bloodwork and get a clearer picture but the way I am feeling right now and how she looks, I think we are headed for a hospital stay. Jeff and I are praying that we will be led to make right decisions concerning her care and that we will do the right thing. Dr. Muenzer said that we need to have a VERY LOW threshhold for putting her in the hospital and so I will be keeping a close watch on her tonight to make sure that she doesn't drop. She is complaining of a headache, stomachache and that her chest hurts. Jeff gave her a blessing and we know that the Lord is watching over her. We will definitely put her safety first. I have her port accessed and heplocked and D50 ready. So far she has been stable but she doesn't look very good. She looks like she does not feel good. I am just tired right now and hope we will have a clear path by tommorrow! Please pray that we will know what to do and that it will be the right decision! Thanks!!!
