dyk Deb y'all's unedning pursuit of truth and family bonding with Liz WILL be rewarded

dyk you are changing her and making a difference in her life

dyk keep at it. it's thankless and exhausting 99% of the time.

DYK 2 a.m. When Pete started throwing up and couldn't stop.

DYK this could easily turn life-threatening as he has type 1 diabetes, so we ended up calling for an ambulance at 5.

DYK he got discharged about 10 a.m., then I had to drop him off and get him settled at home, and run out and get his prescriptions.

DYK he is doing much better now but we are exhausted!

dyk Sean and I both forgot to give ABi her afternoon ADHD meds yesterday

dyk but you'll notice the lack of posts about her, or the lack of stories from her being wild with a "manic red engine"

dyk and because of that, we're going ONE DOSE trial --- a little social experiment if you will

dyk I think she used the ADHD meds to control her manic symptoms and it worked -- but now that she's shifting and she should be shifted FURTHER OUT OF MANIA BY NOW -- I think that second dose is amping her up and creating an issue

dyk so she got her meds this morning and we're going to see hwo long it lasts and try and discern what is ADHD and what is mania -- b/c if we see ADHD symptoms only -- then we'll figure out how to afternoon manage that with smaller doses, morning/afternoon, or just no afternoon dose

DYK thanks for the words of encouragement, Jennie!

DYK I agree that the 9-4 shift would be great for her if she were just a little more responsible.

DYK I told her yesterday that we are starting to look into getting her a car, but it will probably take us about a month, so it is very important for her to show us that she is responsible and trustworthy and honest in that time!!

DYK I am hoping we can get my brother's Camry for her. It has almost 100,000 miles on it but is in great shape, and he will sell it to me for almost nothing --- in fact I may have to fight him to pay him at all.

DYK The holdup is that he wants to replace it with a Porsche Boxter, but he can't afford a new one, so it may take a while to find a good used one.

DYK his blood sugar never went below 60, so while that is a little low it never became dangerous. We were able to keep some juice in him long enough to bring it up to about 80, which is high enough for him to be able to function.

DYK I went to pick her up at 4, got home at 4:30, called for the ambulance at 5, left for the hospital 5:30!

DYK and yes, it is a bug. So on top of everything else we will all be blessed with it, probably. :)

DYK but the ER doctor gave us plenty of the anti- nausea meds and said there should be renough for me to take when I get it too.

dyk the little girl that we care for (ALisha) hers will drop to into the 30's sometimes before she feels wobbly

dyk WTH? it's crazy.

dyk I was at 61 the other day with what Dek's girlfriend from the health food store said was probably a reactive hypoglycemic reaction

dyk I've been taking chromium and so far, only had one other drop like that -- but only to 70.
