Beware the Ides of March

Well, we had bad luck this morning. We don't get to go home tonight. After they took Kelby off her 12 hour dose of the IV nutrition, her blood sugar was too low. I guess what happens is the little body gets used to producing insulin to process all that sugar and keeps doing so even after they take her of the IV. So, that insulin uses up all the rest of the sugar that is her in system. So, we have to try it again tonight and see if they can taper it off better in the morning to help her little system handle it. Hopefully it will work and she can go home tomorrow. I think that I'll stay here with her tonight again. I have been sleeping really well, so I handle being here much better. Maybe we can at least get out of the room today because her white blood levels are up. They also discovered that she has an extra amount of bacteria in her colon that is making her have diarria. They will give us some antibiotics to help. I am glad that they figured out what the problem was. Kelby is looking and acting much better though. She has so much color in her skin and is much happier. She is starting to get back to normal. We are all hanging in here. I just have to be home by Saturday though so I can make corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick's Day!
