Ooh it seems as if it's been a while since I've posted. Been a little preoccupied. We had a scared with Owen a week ago. He woke up in the morning drenched in sweat, and a low temp of 94 degrees. Rushed him to the ER, and after many many tests and a 48 hour hospital stay, the doctors came to a conclusion that Owen has Ketotic Hypoglycemia, say that 3 times fast for me:)
So we pretty much have to make sure that Owen is eating and drinking regularly. I think parents would agree that sometimes it's hard to get toddlers to eat. Sunday Owen wasn't very hungry and didn't eat much. Monday it was the ER. The doctors said he will outgrow it by the age of 4. So until then... we are going to try our best to keep him out of the ER.
There's nothing scarier that watching your baby fall in and out of consciousness. Owen is usually so energetic and active. After the doctors gave him glucose, he pepped right up. So at least we know for the future what to expect.
Owen did really well in the hospital. The first day he was pretty much confined to the bed. He was hooked up to monitors and an iv, so he really couldn't move around. The next day, they took off the wires and Owen could move around. The hospital had a really nice playroom, so we spent a lot of time in there. The hardest part for us was at night. Hospital couches and chairs are not the most comfortable ways to sleep. But we got through it, and are so happy to have the old Owen back. Owen had a check up yesterday, and it went very good. Thank goodness!!
