D-Mama and The Flu

Ok, I remember someone saying that when you have a baby there will be nights where you get no sleep and not realizing that they were being literal.  You may not realize that being a D-Mom is like having an infant at times.

Having a child with Diabetes who has the flu is an insomnia enducing event!  You monitor their blood sugar a little more, you let them snuggle in your bed with you (at least we do) and you wake at every cough or snuffle.

Last night was a long one for us.  I was in the midst of a crazy fever when Ali woke up in the middle of a flu induced nightmare.  Alison snored all night and struggled with her breathing.  But in the end, although she's still really sick, her BGLs have been pretty good.  They've yo-yoed up a bit, but we've been able to bring them back down. 

We expected that Junior Kindergarten would expose us to colds and flus, but we were not ready for 5 illnesses in four weeks :).  Not like this, never like this as they say!

Oh! Well!  We'll nap this afternoon and hope that we all have a better go at sleep tonight!
