One Year Ago Today: 01/29/2013 - Schooled & Cookies

(01/29/2013, Tuesday) Evie made it to the hospital school today for the first time in over a week. We went there first thing in the morning, right after breakfast. After 50 minutes she was entirely spent, and ready to go back to sleep. We'd planned to go to the playroom, so she fought through it. We ended up making pumpkin chocolate chip cookies--or at least I did while she slumped over the table. She went to bed. When she woke up nearly three hours later she had a cookie and declared herself full. After she was awake we were able to spend time with an endocrinologist as one of my items the day prior was to have her assessed for diabetes, so we're back to blood sugar checks prior to meals. She weighed 18.2 kg this morning.

Her high point today was making friendship bracelets while we watched the Disney Channel.

DISCLAIMER: Posts Labeled "One Year Ago Today" are a record of what transpired when Evie first became ill.  The slightly edited text comes from emails which we sent to family to let them know what was happening, and to keep them updated.  These posts are usually long, but if you want to truly understand what life was like for us, and what led to this point, it makes for great "light" reading.
