I spoke too soon

Yeah ummm add throwing up to the list and when you have a child in ketosis – you get ketoacidosis and you spend the night at Carle.  Larkin was getting worse and I brought her in.  They know when I come through the door with her it’s an overnight. 

Her bio-carbon levels were at 15 and they need to be at 20.  We will stay here overnight on IV fluids and a check of her blood sugars every 4 hours.   This time I brought her in early enough that they could find a vein and catch it early before everything goes haywire.  Haywire is a technical term in all medical books. 

She is still throwing up …. poor punkin.  I got into bed with her and said “gosh you smell like throw up” and realized she had thrown up in her sleep.  Good times.  Neat.  Wish you were here?

I am sure she will feel somewhat better tomorrow after the IV. 

She is still sweet – might have to brush her teeth though 🙂
