It’s been awhile since my last post so I’ll update first on the past week. We had a great weekend in Sandusky visiting family. Saturday we had a cookout with Kyle’s mom and dad. It was great to spend the entire day with them, especially since she goes into the clinic for her BMT on Monday. It’s easy to forget that she has leukemia and that she will be undergoing such a life-altering procedure. She looks like she did before she got sick and her energy level is amazing. I think it will make it even harder to see her when she’s back in the hospital, but the BMT is going to save her life so we have to remember that when she starts getting sick again.
Kade loved showing off for his Nana and Papa and he spent some quality time with his cousins. He even took a bath with them in the jacuzzi tub, which of course he loved so much that it wasn’t easy getting him out.
Sunday was spent with my family celebrating my grandma’s 75th birthday. Kade was pretty crabby from his full day on Saturday, but he still enjoyed being showered with attention by everyone. It’s always nice to spend time with my grandma and grandpa. We were always so close, but after our move to Cleveland it’s been harder to see them as often as we would like so I cherish the times we do have.
This weekend and week resulted in some crazy blood sugar levels. I’ve been going really high and really low, which has confused the heck out of me and I don’t quite know how to adjust my insulin to correct it. Thank goodness I have an appointment on Monday, hopefully the OB can resolve it. My guess is that the bigger the baby gets, the more insulin I need, but the lows still don’t make a lot of sense. The part that bothers me the most is that I feel like crap. I can hardly get off the couch, let alone keep a toddler happy and busy all day long. Monday we went on an errand run and I was done for the rest of the day. Tuesday we grocery shopped in the AM, and all afternoon was shot for me. That brings us to today where I couldn’t even get in the shower until 4, and that was only because Kyle was going to be home in an hour. I have just been totally exhausted and I haven’t felt “right” all week. Again, hopefully the OB will shed some light on the subject Monday, but for now I’m useless to just about everyone – including my ever-demanding mama’s boy.
