Miles has had a seven year run of really good management of his diabetes, but the last week has been the unhealthiest he's seen since his diagnosis at age 2. He had high numbers (over 500) and ketones much of Wed thru Sat last week and finally we went to the hospital downtown to put an IV in him and rehydrate him (ketones and high numbers demand a lot of fluid to wash the toxins out of him).
Last night we were up until midnight dealing with nausea and low numbers. Today Miles is home from school - for the 4th day of 5 days. Our endo is giving us some new instructions for Miles' care.
This is one miserable little boy and a couple of exhausted parents.
Pray for Miles. And pray for a cure.
