Just another night

Well I woke up at 3 for my nightly blood sugar check of Dada. I stood in disbelief when it read that her sugar was so low that the meter couldn't read it! I then spent the next 45 min frantically dosing her with pop and candy trying to get her sugar up. It being the middle of the night, she was out cold and I could barely wake her up. I did finally wake her up and she kept crying telling me that she wanted to go back to bed. I could barely get anything down her. She did end up chewing a couple Swedish fish, which she threw a fit about, and then she nursed some Gatorade. I finally got her sugar up but now it was 215. I gave her a little insulin. I still didn't want her to go low again, and I lowered her basal rate ( which is how much insulin she gets per hour) and sent her back to bed. She was a little high this morning, but she was better.

I have to commend the basketball team. They played a rival school ( Hammond Baptist ) in our tip off tournament, and they beat them! It was an amazing game, and Jeremy's cousins were phenomenal playing today!

Speaking of Hammond, the only sport they allowed their girls to do was cheer lead. So they had an incredible squad. Well, now they have decided that cheerleading is wrong, so the girls can't do that either. I was FLOORED when I heard that. I have my own thoughts on this absurdity, but that is for another post.

Also, Dada has found something that she loves to do. She was allowed last night to cheer with the cheerleaders. And she thought it was great! She received many compliments, some even from the other team saying how well she did. She stood out there the entire game and did exactly what the girls did. I was very proud of her! ( I will post pictures later) I am going to get an old uniform and get it taken in for her. Today, she wore her Aunt Jennifer's old Cheerleading uniform, and I do have to say that she looked awful cute!

I also have to say that it is great to see my husband!! He has been working 12 hour days all week. I got to spend some time with him today and I really enjoyed it. I don't like him working this much. I miss him when he is gone.
