My two little girls now have a stomach bug. I've been going nuts, washing everything in hot water, in an attempt to keep Olivia from catching it.

It's horrible when the little girls get sick. Boo, who is three, is ok about it - she thinks it's pretty funny when she pukes (strange, strange girl) but The Bug is miserable. She doesn't get it and she feels terrible. I don't much enjoy it, either. Cleaning up puke is enough to make me hurl, too.

Dealing with real people sickness on top of diabetes, though, really sends me around the bend. It's easy enough to clean up pukey babies but dealing with Olivia's diabetes when she's puking is a little more challenging.

Since Olivia had her turn with the 12 hour, puke-til-your-stomach-turns-inside-out bug, her blood sugars have been running low. I kind of expected it yesterday, but today they've been hovering around 60 for far too long for my liking.

I had her disconnect for a while, which helped, but as soon as she hooked back up again, she started dropping again. It's very weird. Is this normal? She's never had this happen before when she's had a stomach thing, but then, she hasn't had a stomach thing quite this badly in a very long time.

I've been checking her a lot more frequently than usual - and we already check 8 - 12 times a day - so I'm seeing these precipitous drops and they're kind of freaking me out. I think I'm going to have to dial back her midnight to 3 a.m. basal rate because she woke up yesterday and this morning at 50. That's verging on scary low, as far as I'm concerned.

Olivia's new pump arrived today, right when they said it was going to arrive. I took it out of it's box and admired it for a moment. It's pretty. It's purple and it has NO scratches on it and the buttons have all their writing on them still.

I got to work programming in her basals and her carb ratios and all that jazz. Thankfully, I had it all on a handy dandy spreadsheet - the same one I'm constantly moaning about not filling out, but I digress. Just as I was finishing up programming the pump, I got a call from the school. Olivia was sick. Again.

On one of my recent posts about Olivia and her stomach issues, Cathyiowa asked if I got an answer from the doctor about Olivia's stomach pain. O's pain is in her rib area as well as in her stomach. I don't have a specific answer just yet, but we did talk to the endo about it yesterday, at length.

I told the endocrinologist that Olivia's pediatrician had ordered another celiac test in addition to a full blood workup. Once those results are in (March 3rd, if you're keeping score at home), I should have more information. The endo didn't seem overly worried, but she did want to know the results. She mentioned h. pylori as a possible culprit, but after telling us the symptoms (which are really quite disgusting), she didn't think that was the problem.

I had to pick Olivia up from school again today because her stomach was nauseous again. She's been on a course of Zantac for a couple of weeks now and it seemed to work for a while. This is the first time she's felt this bad. She told me last night that her stomach was a little sore, but not queasy.

So, I'm off to the store to get more Zantac (and pump batteries, which seem to have disappeared - I'm blaming my husband and all of his electronic gadgets) and I'm logging (I know!!!) all of her food. I haven't logged actual food in a while - just carbs. Thank goodness I have a good spreadsheet for all this. I'm just going to leave it open on the computer all day. Hopefully that will prompt me to get the stuff in there on a daily basis rather than slacking and then playing catch up. She's never going to remember what she ate yesterday and I certainly don't expect her to.

I find that dinner seems to throw my sugars off worse than anything! I guess I just can't help myself whenever it gets to be chow time. I LOVE ME SOME FOOD! It never fails; I'll go through the whole day and not have one high sugar and then BAM! Hyperglycemia CITY!

My eyes get way too big for my stomach!

Usually I'll come home after a long day, start raiding the cabinets and throwing random stuff together, next thing you know, I got a plate a nachos, some peanut butter cookies, and a Popsicle!

I know, I know, I am supposed to eat healthy all the time...or something like that. I don't want people to think that because I'm a trainer that I eat perfect every day! I'm only human!

I took Olivia to the pediatrician on Monday, to go over the blood work. Everything came back fine. Perfect. So this stomach thing has all of us stumped now.

I have a referral to a gastroenterologist because the pediatrician doesn't know what's wrong with Olivia. Fantastic.

The celiac panel came back negative, which was nice, although I've since read on the CWD parents mailing list that kids can have celiac without having symptoms or a funky blood test. That makes no sense to me, but people are saying they eliminated gluten from their children's diets and the stomach issues went away. Something to ask about, I guess.

Olivia is starting to look like a pin cushion. Her stomach is a mass of red marks, scars and bumps. It's not pretty. She refuses to wear a bikini or half shirt because of how her stomach looks (not that this bothers me, mind you!).

The problem we're currently having is that she's got so much scar tissue built up that she's running out of real estate for her sites. She currently uses her arms, her stomach and her lower back.

I'm sure some of you will suggest thigh sites, but she has really bad luck with those. Thigh sites generally make her rollercoaster - she'll be in the 400s in the afternoon and by dinner, be in the 60s. It's bizarre. I've tracked it and she's not over-bolusing or over eating. I think it's an absorption thing. She's got meaty thighs (she can thank me for that one). I don't know if that makes a difference or not; regardless, thigh sites just don't do it.
