So yes we were hospitalized again! Everything was going great!!! Friday we were heading out for errands when I was just bout to give Ju his levemer. He was running and ran into the fridge door, that bumped my hand and knocked the insulin onto the floor where it shattered! The smell instantly started bothering me, but my biggest concern was it wasn't time for a refill!!!! So we had no other choice but to put his pump back on for the first time since our last illness. I was nervous so I called our endos office to let them know and review the settings before hand. After talking to them we proceeded and put on his pump and went about our day! His numbers were fine all day! We got Popeyes for lunch and Ju & I shared a chicken tender box. My head was still bothering me since smelling the insulin, but I chalked it up to my contacts bothering me now. So as soon as I got home I took them out, & when check the mail. Well- that lead into a brawl between myself, AT&T & direct tv. Which made my all day headache into a full blown migraine . I put the kids down for a nap/quiet time and tried to rest but my stomach started to ache, I felt weak and dizzy & I knew what was next. Yup, I blew chunks for hours after. By now I was fully convinced it was food poisoning.( watching bar rescue makes me hate the though of the kitchens in those places) meanwhile Julian was still doing great. By 8pm I felt normal again & kids were in bed for the night & josh was just getting home from bringing recruits to New Orleans.
8am Julian woke josh & I up saying he threw up on the sofa. I really thought he was fibbing since he was acting fine & the liquid on the sofa appeared to be water
I was wrong- 20 minutes later he blew chucks again. This was about 3-4 times a hour for the remainder of the day. It was a horrid day an despite all he was drinking nothing really stayed down. Finally we made the decision to bring Ju to the ER, bc his blood sugars were starting to get crazy & he was developing ketones! By the time we got there jus bg was 450 & had large ketones. He was in ketone acidosis. Keesler had him on to much fluid and was giving him to much insulin through his IV. this could have severely harmed Julian's brain, and when children's called for report and heard about this, they decided he would not be transported via ambulance , but by helicopter. I nearly fainted. My baby, so sick and out of it, flying away without me. :( but I knew he'd get the best treatment at children's. thankfully my mother in law met Ju at the hospital( he got there in 30mins max) while I went get josh and jai then raced to Nola. We spent the night in icu again then a night on the regular floor. His doc wanted him to stay another night but after promising to keep close contact she allowed us to come on home. That's leaves us at today!
