Samantha Grace had a wonderful night. She has been full of energy pretty much all day. Last night at 2 AM we had a high reading of 350, but the insulin did its job and at 7AM we were blessed by a blood sugar of 114!
She threw a true hissy fit this morning in protest of her breakfast of eggs and grits, so we promptly ordered a new breakfast of pancakes and sugar free syrup. She ate every bite and even held up the empty to-go box over her head to see if there was any more left. Then we were visited by some sweet friends during the morning who played, drove wagons, and rocked Samantha Grace.
Josh and I started our classes today. We have spoken with a social worker who works with us on ordering medicines, insurance, etc. We also had a good class with our nutritionist. We are still in waiting to speak with the diabetes educator; therefore, we will not be going home until probably Wednesday. Because we have yet to administer a shot and/or conduct a blood test ourselves.
We thank our wonderful pediatrician and her mommy for coming today. We were able to get some clarification on some matters with our pediatrician's help.
Please pray that Samantha Grace's blood sugar/insulin levels would stabilize and that we would be able to absorb all the information that is coming at us.

The Renners are loving you guys and holding you up in prayer all the way over here. We love you and are proud of the way you're handling this trial. I think I know your "wonderful ped and mommy," and you're right, they're the best. Love, Jenny
ReplyDeleteI see she got back in the cabinet. She is so funny. At least you were able to get the picture. I am sure you will pass your classes with flying colors. She is lucky to have you as a mommy who can handle all of this with such ease and determination. ~Brandy

ReplyDeleteJosh and Carri, I am praying for you and Samantha Grace to be strong in the power of Christ. Not too long ago, I got to hold her for a whole hour in the nursery! She is so precious and sweet-tempered. Your updates here are encouraging.
ReplyDeleteCarri & Josh - Thinking of you (and checking your blog) all the time. Been praying for little Miss Scrunch and am looking forward to y'all coming home soon. Love the pictures. Love!
