I've been watching for updates on Facebook, and it was good to see that he is doing much better. Glad he got to meet his pilot too!

Glad the boy is OK!! I was scared for ya, for a minute....... bet you were worried, as all hell once they said the "flight for life" was on it's way!
Thanks for sharing and I'm glad your son is ok. What a scary situation
My wife was crying, and I could see it was making him anxious. When they put him on the heli, we didn't have a good reason, they said they weren't sure, but knew with what his acid level, and sugar level was, that he didn't have much time. That's what the worst part was for her. For me, it was keeping it together for him, holding everything back and putting on the happy face so I wouldn't freak him out. Holding his hand while they loaded him onto the chopper with a smile on my face telling him it was going to be ok was amazingly hard. My wife told me on the heli flight, she didn't think I was worried at all because I held my composure so well. She saw I was a wreck for the two and a half hours it took me to drive to the hospital.Quote:

So I told him we would at least go look at one as close as we could, next to the landing pad. He got one better in the end though, he got to go in the hanger and sit up front, roam around in the back, and just have fun with it.Quote:

I'm glad to hear he made it through OK. Thanks for posting this. I'd probably think along the same lines as you and figure nothing's wrong with those symptoms from the first few days.
Glad everything is going to be ok.
My dad is Diabetic, my wife's father supposedly was, so we're a bit leary of us or the kids becoming.
I believe they'll setup a diet for the kid just like the adults, watch the carb intake and blood sugar levels. Three solid meals, morning and afternoon snack break. ?
My dad recently took the fast acting insulin instead of the long lasting, had a bad physical blood sugar crash, ate up a few bags of snickers bars to normalize everything. Scary.
He is supposed to eat three square meals a day, or rather get at least 40 grams of carbs in him for 3 meals a day, with a snack in between the longer stretches of meal time. He gets 5 shots a day, one after every meal, a morning, and a night one. That is the least ammount of shots he will get. He is on a long acting, and a fast acting insulin.Quote:
