Yesterday morning I got a call from Taylor saying he needed to take Zach to the doctor. Apparently Zach woke up feeling shaky and sick. Taylor being a type one diabetic thought he was possibly experience symptoms of low blood sugar and decided to use his glucose meter to check his blood. His blood sugar level was 35 which is pretty low so I told Taylor to feed him some cereal and juice and see how he felt in a little while. Then Taylor brought him to me and he was really tired and wanted me to hold him. So I was just holding him all morning when all of the sudden he throws up all over me. I freaked out a little cause this has never happened before, but luckily we were at my mom's and she calms me down and we get cleaned up and I have almost recovered from the experience now...almost. Taylor had made a doctor's appointment for him that morning so we took him in to see if they would at least test to see if maybe he could possible also be diabetic. They checked his urine and there was no sugar in it so so far it seems that he is not and he just had a virus and for now no need to worry.
The thing that really makes yesterday more memorable,I guess is a word to use. Is when Taylor was coming into the doctor's building apparently a man came in holding a small infant and was saying he needed help cause his baby was not breathing. When Taylor told me about this it was hard to imagine such a horrible event happening only feet away from where I was. What would anyone do in that situation, if your child was literally dying in your arms. It really is too much for me to even think about, I worry about everything and such thoughts do not leave my head quickly. It has made the last 24 hours seem to be more precious then a typical day may have been. While leaving the office there was a life flight helicopter, a fire truck, and an ambulance. I don't have any idea how things turned out for that family, I hope that things turned out better then they could have.
I am so grateful to have a healthy boy.
