We are T + 7 days since the intestinal flu levelled our household.  Count 5 down for the flu...all five prisoners were taken.

Carter's sugars have been running on the high side since that time.  A colleague and I were talking today and he asked a great question; "What's worse, really high sugars, or really low?"  In laymen's terms;  sugars that drop very low become an acute emergency because if the low is not treated it could result in the child becoming very disoriented, have seizures or at the extreme end drop into a diabetic coma.  Highs on the other hand are not an immediate risk unless they come with those nasty ketones.  If Carter's sugars stay high for several years he could face the long term effects of not keeping his sugars low (kidney disease, vision issues, neuropathy, heart disease and so on).  So while it makes your heart jump to see 25.8 on the meter for a BG reading, unless there are ketones present this number is not a huge immediate risk.  Conversely, if you read 2.3 on the meter, your heart is dropping into your stomach and you're jumping into action to get his blood glucose up tout d' suite.  Fruit juice, jelly bellies, rockets, or whatever it will take to bring his BG over 4.

Keepin' it between the lines!

The boys and daddy came with mama on an overnight trip to the St. Eugene Resort for mama's work.  The boys enjoyed running on the golf trails, checking out the new baby cows across the road, and going inside the tee pees.

Come on Carter.
