Olivia was sick yesterday and today. Of course, my first thought was that it was blood sugar related, but her numbers were ok. Not great, mid-200s, but definitely not puke-inducingly high.

I went down to the store and bought her the standbys of ginger ale, saltines and Pepto Bismol. It seems to have helped - she's feeling better now, although she's still pale as all get out and kind of punky.

I hate how my mind always leaps to blood sugars when she's not feeling good. Sometimes she's just sick. She did tell me that she feels different when she's sick from a high blood sugar - that her stomach feels different and her head feels fuzzy. This time, she just felt nauseous.

So even though she was checking her blood sugar frequently throughout the last two days, it was nice (nice - weird way to describe it) that she was just sick. I feel so guilty when it's blood sugar related, as though I did something wrong, wasn't vigilant enough or on top of things like I should have been. When she's just sick, well, she's just sick. It's almost a relief.
