Well I wasnt going to say to much, but I just wanted to let you guys know, that I have been staying up at the U of Iowa Hospital's with Grace, and Sarah. Cause Gracey has type 1 diabetic...She was dianogsed on Monday, and we have been here since Monday evening. It has been a long 3 days now, and we are all ready to go home.
Her blood sugar levels when we got here was in the 500 range. (normal is 80-120) It was today at 150, so much, much better. The doctor's think that we will be able to head out later today. The have been teaching us, diet stuff, carbs and what not. Stuff Sarah and I knew about. But, they have to do it anyway. She has to take a long acting insulin at night, 4iu's...and has to take short acting (like humalog) during the day, at every meal ...2 iu's ... She is allowed 50-55 grams of carbs per meal. Up to 180 grams per day.
Please say a prayer for her. She has been so tough, and mentally strong during the during this whole process...
