One of the shocking things when Samantha was admitted was that she had lost 3 pounds, going from 19 to 16 pounds in only three weeks. Last week, we had our first doctor’s appointment after leaving the hospital and they weighed her there. She has regained all three pounds and is back to 19 pounds in just slightly more than a week of treating her with insulin. Since then, her appetite is still bigger than ever so she is probably even more now.

So, things are going well. Her blood sugar is still bouncing around but not as much as before and we are getting closer to a regular schedule for insulin shots.
