Yesterday we found out that Emma's blood sugar has been really low in the mornings. They have been keeping track of it for the last five days, and are now concerned. They called the endocronologist to come look at her and to let us know what they would like to do. They decided that they were going to do a heel stick every 4 hours for a 24 hour period. Which meant they did it all through the night. I was pretty nervous about it, but Emma did great last night. She didn't like it, but went right back to sleep. Her sugar was good last night and a bit low this morning, but nothing to worry about. They think her pancreas might be producing too much insulin due to all of the chemo and medicines she has been on. Just another thing to add to her list.
Emma has adjusted very well to not eating and is playing and talking a lot. She gets tired easily though, but its nice to see her play. We are still hoping that the docs will cut her chemo a week short, so she doesn't have to do this for 4 full weeks, but that is still up for discussion. The air in her stomach is still there, but has improved. We are praying it will be gone by tomorrows xray. I will keep you updated as we here more information. Thanks for your prayers!
