Have I told you about how on Saturday Abby snuck 3 donuts, her ketones plummeted and she had five seizures? And how she spent the entire day screaming at me about how mean I am to her and how I don’t love her? Yeah. So perhaps you’ll forgive that I’m a wee bit paranoid about the possibility that she might fall off the derech occasionally with this diet…
So today, after everyone was at school, I noticed that there were donuts on the table. I did remember Tobie asking if she could have a donut (for? with?) breakfast, but I hadn’t expected that she would leave half of it on a plate on the table, nor that she would leave the box on the table. Ugh. I began to worry that Abby had eaten some of the donut(s). And so, this is what my day (which i had planned to spend napping) ended up looking like:
8:30: Remind girls that the bus would arrive in 10 minutes
8:35 Remind girls to go outside to the bus
8:37 Urgently remind girls to GO OUTSIDE NOW TO THE BUS
8:42 Hear bus pull up, frantically look around and feel relief that girls are outside
8:43 Get Sam in car
8:58 Drop Sam off at school. Hear lecture from him about how he really should get dropped off early. I’ll get right on that, thanks.
9:05 Arrive home. Discover donuts on table. Panic. Call school nurse. Alert her to the possibility that Abby could, theoretically, have seizures. I tell her I have to go to the dentist, but I will come take Abby’s blood sugar/ketones immediately afterward.
9:32 Drive to dentist.
9:40 Realize I’ve forgotten Dentist’s new address. Freak out.
9:50 Arrive at Dentist.
11ish: arrive at school, take blood sugar/ketones, Abby is fine, but it is clear that Abby did NOT take her ADHD medicine this morning as she is bouncing off the ceiling. This means she also didn’t take her seizure meds. She also tells me she didn’t refrigerate her lunch (which includes several ounces of heavy cream. AND she’s starving, says she. So I go home to get her a snack, measure some new heavy cream out, and return to the school.
11:55 arrive at school, give Abby her snack (gummy bears and butter…she didn’t want oil, which is fair enough). Realize I didn’t bring her medication. Go home.
12:20 Go back to school with her medication. Give it to her. Leave School. See I have a text from CVS saying my medication is ready – but at the store that’s 15 mins away.
12:35 Receive phone call from the school. Tobie has forgotten her lunch. I’m already most of the way to CVS. No where near home or school. Go to CVS, buy snacks and Orange Juice there to bring to her and pick up my medicine there while I’m there anyway.
1:10 arrive at school, drop off lunch.
1:25 arrive home. Try not to pass out.
2:15 drive to Sam’s school to pick him up at 2:30.
Today was supposed to be a dentist’s appointment and NOTHING ELSE except a very long nap because I’m so very tired.
