This week did not seem like it was ever going to end. It started out ok but Tuesday I had been going non stop and so I went to enrichment night to relax and Jaren called half way through to come home because he wasn't doing well at all, so I left and came home to make sure he was ok and he looked horrible his blood sugars were way high (above 600) and I had changed his insulin inset 3 times that day and it wasn't bringing his sugars down so I made him take a shot and I ran to the store to get some powerade zero to keep him hydrated and a neighbor had come over to check with us after enrichment and she called her husband to come and give him a blessing, after the blessing I knew things would get better but I also knew it was going to be a LONG night. I made sure his sugars were going down before I let him go to bed and I made him sleep with me so I could watch them through the night, when we woke up in the morning they were 81 so I called to check him throughout the day and they went up and down all day. I knew that night would affect the kids the rest of the week but I had no idea it would be as bad as it was, when I took the kids to school I went and talked to the teacher to let them know that we had a LONG night, they were very understanding and said they would keep and eye out. Braxton tried to call home and make sure his dad was ok and Jaren won't answer the phone when I am not here so he freaked out and went into the bathroom and then told his teacher he had thrown up and needed to go home, so I had to go check him out, as soon as we got home he was fine. RaKelle was home Tuesday with the stomach flu so I didn't want to leave him at school thinking that he threw up. Thursday they all went to school and I thought everything was ok, and then they all came home from school and RaKelle had a total meltdown and started bawling so I asked her what happened at school and she was crying so bad that she couldn't talk for a minute she finally calmed down enough to tell me that since we hadn't had that much sleep she was so tired and in one of her classes she was stretching and some of the kids in her class were giving her a bad time about it and she said "mom, I can usually just ignore it and I just couldn't today I wanted to turn around and punch her" I asked her if she did hit her and she said no and then started crying again because she said that if she would have hit her she would have been in trouble by one of her favorite teachers and that made her upset. I called her counselor at school and talked to her and she has set up a meeting with all of her teachers so that I can tell them all what she is going through so I don't have to tell them one at a time.
There has been some good that has come this week though. Jaren qualified for a grant to help pay for some respite care, that will help out a LOT I am just so tired of falling through the cracks with everything I try to get help with. This week should hopefully go a lot better and hopefully the kids will be able to calm down and get through the last couple weeks of school before Christmas break.
