Tuesday, Ju had school. At this new school, the teacher doesn't communicate with me like at the old school. Some days I don't hear from her at all.. which is a good and bad thing. Good- because I cant play scenarios in my head, if I'm not being told his BG constantly. Bad, because maybe I should be playing those scenarios. Well on this day, I was in carpool, and hadn't heard from his teacher all day long. As I sat in line, was telling my mom how I worry less and blah blah, yet on days I don't hear from the teacher, I get anxious waiting for him to walk out the door and be walked to my car bc I can tell from that first glance if he's HIGH or LOW. As we are sitting there talking, Julian is next to walk out, and the moment I lay my eyes on him, I know it... he is VERY LOW. He gets in the car and the lady is helping him buckle, and he begin to cry. His eyes have that funny look, and I hand him his meter. I ask her whats he crying about, and she replies that she doesn't know but if I pull up, she'll run inside to ask mrs. kim(his teacher). As she runs in, Julian is checking his BG, 60mg/dl. UGH.. no wonder. When she comes back out she tells me he was flipping out over a sticker... I show her his meter, and explain that these out of character swings are red flags, and good reason to always check his BG. Granted, his Dex hadn't yet alarmed(it can lag a little) but it read 109 with two down arrows. that too is a red flag! :(
We had lunch with daddy shortly after, and which gave my boo the protein he needed. Then we came home to prep for his first baseball game that night! wooohoo!
I can not even begin to explain how proud I was of Julian tonight! and his team! they ROCKED IT! THey are soooo good for their age, and sooo freakin precious!
Wednesday- Julian headed off to school. I wasn't to concerned as I usually am the day after baseball, because to my surprise he wasn't running low like he typically does.(but hey I wasn't complaining, since he wasn't running high either!) Then that day at school his teacher texted that his dex alarmed at 65- so she gave him cookies. at the 15 min post check, she had him check his BG and it read 345. I was like damn, no way he's 345- its the day after teeball.. so I told her to insure he cleaned his finger before checking, otherwise the cookie crumbs would give a false HIGH. sure enough, as I loaded Jai in the car to go up to the school, I got the call saying he was 220. much better. he was probably a little low( around 90 if I had to guess) prior to eating the cookies. Dexcom is sometimes a little off. But good deal, he got to finish his day at school. That night, he stinkin dexcom came off early! DANG IT! we only get 4 of these a month, and they're suppose to stay on for 7 days. yet, this one lasted 3 friggen days!! ugh! So of course that means a no go for school tomorrow, and he'll return Friday, since Josh is heading to school for Donuts with dad & a field trip with him. His next dex will be put on next Monday.
Thursday- Well I fought highs all night last night and since Julian's dex is off today, he is playing hookie. Good thing we let him play hookie, he has since thrown u his breakfast and has Large ketones. WTF! his bg's haven't been out of whack.. im not getting it! SO I start praying to god he's not getting a virus! I start trouble shooting..
*insulin-- is good.
*no bubbles in tubing
--so next is pull the pump site off and change it out. AAA-HAA.. there's the issue. his CANNULA was completely bent. I assume I didn't catch it as soon as I would typically, bc he didn't run high like he normally does when his cannula is bent. I am also assuming he didn't run high, because of all the exercise he has been doing lately. So today we will battle vomiting, and ketones. :(
are you seeing the tend. Hope you enjoyed the free admission to our life, and the complimentary roller coaster Blood sugar ride! :)
