Very low blood sugars due to her pancreas working overtime dealing with mom's high blood sugar in the womb.

Then these little issues due to complications of being born to a type 1

Large for gestational age

Congenital assymetric septal hypertrophy

Left ventricle outflow tract obstruction.

Hyper insulinemic hypoglycemia.

Basically the high blood sugars caused her septum to become enlarged, which is obstructing flow to valve as well as chamber (left ventricle) being encroachmed and limited volume of blood in that chamber.

So they been running glucose iv on her to match her pancreas out out of slin.

It's stable now, she's on 1ml per hour of 10% glucose. She started at 8ml per hour of 25%

Tomorrow she'll be off of it.

Then the beta blockers to let blood flow into chamber better.

They can't give the beta blockers while hypoglycemic, as they lower blood sugar as a side effect.

It sounds like a lot, but it's not as bad as it sounds

Prayers help of course.

Praying for all 3 of you.

Yes it is.

No tubes, regular street or should I say crib clothes. Lol

Sugars have been perfect, she's eating a ton. Her last echo showed a 50% improvement on her obstructed valve.

She's coming home Monday.

they won't let her come home until they give us a class on how to test her blood sugar and that has to be done Monday or she'd be coming home tonight.

I'm like, her mother, diabetic since 12 years old, is now 34. I think we know how to do it

But protocol they must follow so we have to oblige

Have her be a smartass and act like she doesn't understand. They have their formalities and you have yours

she's doing good she's on a few different medications one to keep her from going hypoglycemic and the other one is a beta blocker for her heart

But I actually stumbled upon the side effects of the hypoglycemic medication I wish they would have told me in the hospital to watch out for certain symptoms because it ain't no joke.

there's a host of side effects that are very common and pretty detrimental

The medication bis called "Diazoxide".
