Megan eating her Cafe Rio salad, That Aunt Teria Glauser brought. Thanks Teria You made our day. |
Things are going great here at the hospital. When I went in Saturday Morning this is what I found. Megan was out of her bed and on the internet checking her facebook. Thank you all who left her messages.Megan, Kerry and I have learned all the basics of taking care of Diabetes. Megs can eat anything she wants she just has to cover it with insulin. Aunt Teria was awesome and brought her a Cafe Rio salad when she was craving it on Saturday. We were just happy to have her awake and wanting to eat.We were happy enough that we went and got her panda express for dinner.She is now in the stage that she is hungry all the time. Her body has been starved for so long she is making up for it.We have to count carbs now. I could tell you all the details but it would probably just make your head spin. She is awake and doing good. They unhooked her iv but have not taken it out yet. She has one more round of antibiotics to take for the ear infection that she has.I gave her her shot for the first time at lunch and she will hopefully do it tonight at dinner.She is very nervous to do this. She has already checked her blood sugar levels which entails poking herself to get blood. She can now have visitors. We are all happy to practice poking anyone that wants to volunteer. Fair warning if you come to visit like Jessica last night you will probably get pricked by Kerry;) Megans cup is now decorated with the stickers the nurses brought her.We are glad to have the hospital visit almost come to an end. She will come home tomorrow and we cant wait.

Janae! I can't believe Megan has to go through this. I had no idea. :( I'm just glad she's doing better now. If she's going to be stuck in the hospital learning how to take care of the diabetes, then the best way to go is Cafe Rio AND Panda Express in the same day. Yummy! Send her our love. :)
I am glad she is eating again. And how cool that she can eat whatever as long as she covers it with the insulin. Thats way better than just avoiding everything for the rest of your life. Tell her we love her and will see her this weekend.
Great news!!!! And YES, the details would just make heads spin!!! We are all trying to learn as much as we can for my 7 year old niece that was diagnosed the day before your sweetie was. Good luck mama!!!!
