We had skittles at 4a.m. this morning... Evidently the cvs emergency glucose gel is gross!!! We tried it and he cried that it made his mouth itchy (code for he won't eat it) He was too lethargic to drink juice, so we ran to get our emergency bag of skittles...
Let me back up to midnight -- he was at a 200, so I was confident he'd be fine for the night... I found out he was low when a car drove by my house (we live on a dead end, so rarely does a car come down in the middle of the night). It woke me up when everyone's sensor light went on, so I had to get up and check that all was good on the block...Thank goodness I got up! That's when I heard him do a strange snore type sound... I went in to check, and his eyes were a sliver open - quite eerie. I checked his blood and thought I had the meter upside down when it read 60.
So, he refused the gel, wouldn't drink the juice, but somehow got up enough energy to munch on some skittles. Nothing better than candy in the middle of the night when you're too tired to brush your teeth!!!!!
It's 9a.m. now and he's at a 144 still sound asleep!
Still wondering why that car drove down my block... It wasn't the newspaper delivery person, since no one had their papers when I looked out. Was it Jimmy's guardian angel trying to wake me up to tend to him? My kids do have a few of them up there, I'm sure!
Peace,
June
