Sydney Update

I know it's late, but we do have (some) news from Sydney's Dr. appt in Birmingham.  This doctor is leaning towards it having been an isolated incident due to the medication and later low numbers due to the residual effects of the medication still in her system.  However, to help put our minds at ease and give us a better understanding of how to treat her when she is sick and not eating to keep her blood sugar levels even, we are going back to the hospital to do another fasting test.  This time they well faster her from between 24 to 48 hours.

The doctor did say that skinny kids (and she and her brother fit that description) tend to be more likely to be Hypoglycemic.  He did agree with the diet we have her on and thinks it is good to keep her on it.  Possibly the diet is making the difference.

Anyway, not really any new news, yet at the same time it is reassuring to know that we are doing things right.
