I wake up every night at 2:00 or 2:30 am. Never has E ever been low at this time. I use this time as a base for my night....... this time is usually a time he some times goes really high.
As I walk to his bed to check him I notice he is a little more sound a sleep then normal. I just had this feeling. I prick his finger and hold my breath waiting for the number to appear on the meter. While waiting I touch him as I always do to make sure he is breathing. Quickly 39 appears on the meter. My heart races as I open a juice for him. He is out of it but thankfully downs his juice. I open another juice and he drinks it just as fast. After a hour of waiting and checking he comes up to 160 a safe number for me to go back to sleep. I lay in bed and set my alarm for a hour later..... another sleepless night.
THIS is a perfect example of why I don't sleep. Thank god I woke up when I did....... a number that low he could of had a seizure or even worse. I can't even let my thoughts go to the even worse.
SCARY! I hate night time lows. And day time lows, too! So glad you woke up! When do you get your dog? Maybe that will help a little... not that I sleep thru the night either. But still!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you woke up! Night time lows are the worst!!

ReplyDeleteOh we had a 38 a day ago too!!! Scare the be-gees out of me! We are both so lucky we woke to catch it. Scary stuff, but so glad you caught it.
ReplyDeleteI bet it will be a relief to get your alert dog. I can't wait to hear about how it goes.
