Update: Sweet Lindsay
We're a week home under our own management: FAIL. We've been testing her blood at least six times every day and we've seen 3 glucose levels in our target range. Not only that: we've been in the scary high glucose ranges more often than not. And we've been seeing some ketones in her urine. Bad, bad, bad.
Endocrinologist has adjusted her insulin twice; she is in utter disbelief that these high numbers could be valid given proper counting of carbohydrates and calculation of dosage. Not so subtle subtext: either Rob and I are dumbasses or Lindsay is eating on the down-low. I'm not buying it.
We're going to consult with another endo to see what another clinician might think. That's all I know. Except I'm tired: I'm tired of being the Mommy who does all the meal planning, research and portion control, gives shots AND gets to be the target of Lindsay's frustration.
I want a vacation.

I wish I could or say more then I am thinking about you. I am here if I can help with anything at all. Lunch next week? Maybe a bottle of wine?
Unfortunately Mommys don't get a vacation no matter how much they need one.
Hang in there. Hopefully you will get her glucose levels stablized soon.
Sometimes the human body just doesn't work by the numbers . . . calculations or no . . . I hope Lindsay's condition is improving and that you are finding the right combination of doctors to help.
