This^ is Atticus on Sunday at noon. This picture below is Atticus today (2 days later) at 2:00. We thought it was the flu. It was diabetic ketoacidosis. Atticus has Type 1 diabetes. This is scary and surreal for all of us. Atticus has cried a lot. He knows what this means. A different life for him now. But we are hopeful. God has gone before us and none of this is surprising to Him. We thank God that we made it in time and Atticus is getting help. The doctors said tonight would be a rough night. His glucose was 618 and it is down to 250. That is much better! But he still can't eat or drink and he wants to so bad- we've got a long night ahead of us. They will check his levels hourly and get him back to the normal range. Then we get to learn about insulin injections and a new lifestyle. Please pray for him and for us. We are at a great hospital with good doctors, but it is all so
overwhelming.
