And the Craziness continues........

This is my third time doing this post as my stupid computer keeps deleting my posts.  Ugh.... So I am gonna make it brief.

Avery is doing great and even sleeping through the night, YAY.

This time it is Isaiah.  My happy go lucky steady and healthy as you go kid.  Seems that he is showing early signs of Diabetes......... How crazy is that.  Like we need anymore craziness in this house.  Last month he saw an Endocrine dr. b/c we of his continuing migranes and concerns of early puberty.  She ran a bunch of labs and there was some concerns about his previous higher blood sugar readings and glucose in his urine.  I got the report in the mail with all the results on thurs. and this is where the madness begins....

His blood sugar on that day was 179 (norms 80-100) and his A1c was on the high end of normal (it checks the blood sugar over 3 month span and is very accurate).  So I started to check him at home b/c I was concerned by her report.  Which said he was at a high risk for diabetes and if he continues to have high reading then he needs to be seen.  On frid. he was hovering in the 150s which wasn't so bad.  But yesterday he was 186 (fasting) and at 230 which was concerning.  I called the oncall drs. at Childrens and they were very concerned.  They are following us closely and if he has anymore readings over 200 then he will need to start insulin.  He is going to go inpatient where they will watch him over a couple of days and give insulin as needed and teach us how to do it.

Can you believe this????  I am already having anxiety attacks over the thought of Isaiah going inpatient.  He has not been in the hospital in over 3 yrs. and I can't imagine it now.  First of all, they will have to put him in a cage bed and the kid will go crazy.  Just a totally different kid than Avery.  I am so used to Avery being the one inpt. and not Isaiah.  I would accept if more if Avery had diabetes b/c he is easier to manage than Isaiah b/c he is so cooperative than my wild man.  I mean just getting his BS reading is like a wrestling match, can you imagine doing it 3-4 times a day plus insulin.  UGH!!!!!

I know I have to take a deep breath and things will be okay and all that but I don't know how much more craziness I can handle.  And two kids going inpatient is certainly more than I can handle.  The other crazy thing is that we FINALLY agreed to getting a dog for Janessa just before finding this out.  Oh LORD!!!! And once we told her we are getting a dog, there is no going back on that one.  AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Today, Isaiah's sugars look great 96 and hopefully they stay that way, although I doubt it.  I am sure they skyrocket when he is in a cycle so it is just a matter of time before we start the insulin.  The dr. did tell me that it is not good for him to even be at 200 b.c it can really hinder weight gain and we all know Isaiah is skinny as a rail and that is probably the reason he never gains weight (poor kid).  This could very well be the answer to so many questions I have had about him and why his cycles could be worse.  We will see.

I will keep you all posted though.  So much for keeping it brief, LOL.
