Whew, what an ordeal! When Bailey woke up on Thursday, May 24, she was sort of out of it, her entire head was soaking wet from sweat, she was cold, and she would drift in and out of sleep. By the time we realized we had an emergency on our hands, her temperature registered at 93.7 and she was increasingly becoming more and more unresponsive. When I put her in her carseat for Nick to take her to the hospital, she was very hard to rouse. We were really, really scared. Nick rushed her to Moses Cone and they took good care of her, once they got some glucose in her system, her sugar levels rose as did her temp. They think it is because she was sick (back to back Hand Foot Mouth, Pneumonia (which also required a trip to the ER 2 weeks prior but no hospital stay), and lastly Fifths Disease, which can be devastating to pregnant women and sickle cell patients, which is why we were quarantined to our room for the entire 5 day hospital stay...) and not eating well for over 2 weeks, she depleted all of her sugar stores and couldn't build them back up. SO SCARY! While it may happen again, it should only be in the event of a GI bug where she can't keep anything down, and we should be able to prevent it, or at least keep our eye on it so it never gets that bad. Her sugar level was 13!! (I had no idea what that meant until they told us, normal is somewhere around 100. Bailey tends to read in the 70s and 80s.) Anyway, we updated Facebook frequently throughout those 5 days and received a lot of support from our friends and family. Via Facebook, here are our accounts of the ordeal:

Jenn doing the best she can. Lunch underneath our sleeping Bailey, get it while you can. Still no diagnosis.

Good morning Facebook friends, that is her goofy smile. Camera was not quick enough!

Ketotic hypoglycemia is a rare but serious form of low blood sugar in young children.
She has been home 5 days now, and has been doing great! We kept her out of school Tuesday, sent her half days on Wednesday and Thursday, and a full day Friday (which I think tired her out). She has been sleeping well, eating well, and having good sugar readings (we have to take it at 2am and b/f breakfast for 2 weeks, then 2x per week for 3 months until we return to the endocrinologist). We saw him the day after we were released from the hospital and he thinks she'll be just fine. She was SUCH a trooper while in the hospital! When the nurses would come in to check her finger, she would just hold her hand out and let them do it. She let them do all their checks and everything, though didn't like having her blood drawn (duh!), but would at least lay still for it. She also hates having any kind of tape or stickers taken off. So when we left the hospital, she still had 5 stickers on her chest and belly from the monitors, plus a piece of gauze taped onto each arm. At least she allowed a nurse to take the bandaids off of each of her fingers, because she wouldn't use that hand while the bandaids were on there! She was also really tolerant of being "locked down" in the hospital room, although she did "want to go home" several times. We allowed way more paci usage than we wanted to, but surprisingly that didn't backfire on us when we got home. She has been sleeping well and napping well ever since she got home, and hasn't expected her paci out of her crib. She has returned to her silly Bailey self, oh, also her stubborn, moody 2 year old self, but we'll take it! Sweet girl! We feel incredibly fortunate that she doesn't have anything long-term or life-threatening. Wow, just wow.
