Not Again!

Kyle is down with sore throat, cough and fever since Sunday.

Just checked his temperature at around 7:00 pm and it was 101.4F.


Checked his blood glucose and it was 531! I immediately checked for ketones-POSITIVE!

Changed insulin set and site. Gave correction bolus of 0.4 via pump and an extra 2 units Novolog via injection.

Now I have to wait for two hours to check his blood glucose, check for ketones and his temperature. Time for next medication is at 10pm. He is sound asleep now...so peaceful...so innocent. Poor guy, so young but he's going through a lot.

My husband is also sick. Same thing with what my son has. He was not able to report for work Monday and Tuesday. We thought that by the time his days-off are over (Wednesday and Thursday) he'll be fine. Not! He is a lot worse! But he already decided that he's going to report for work tomorrow...rain, sleet or snow!

Time to fumigate!
