Worst Week Ever
Our week started out kind of rough.
Tuesday:Nana called me at work to meet her at the Urgent Care because Shag got hit in the head, by a golf club. Yes I said GOLF CLUB. It was an accident, but now Moose knows there is NO swinging a club when someone else is near you. So two staples in the head. Three hours later the kid wanted to put a bike helmet on and ride around like nothing happened. You and I would be on the couch for the rest of the day. 
Wednesday: Shag vomits several times during the night- not projectile. So I was not thinking head injury.
Thursday: Shag and mom tired. But he is buzzing around by 10:00 am, full of energy. Bike ride after dinner.
Friday: Shag is not doing well. My two year old will not get off the couch, responds only to pain. (this is the kid who does not sit still for longer than a couple of minutes) The nurse hot line tells me to call 911. Panic sets in and I can not tell which way is up. At the local hospital he is cleared of a head injury, but still does not perk up after fluid boluses and lunch. The doctor wants to admit him at the Children's Hospital for further testing.
Friday Night: Shag is not allowed to eat and gets his finger pricked every one-two hours through the night into the next day. They are trying to let his blood sugar drop to dangerous low and than draw a bunch of blood and give him an emergency medicine to increase is blood sugar again.
Saturday: Shag's blood sugar dropped, but not to the dangerous level. Yeahhhhh.... So the specialist explains that he is diagnosed with a condition in which he does not have much of a fat storage. So therefore he can drop his blood sugar dangerously low.
Sunday: Shag is wrestling with his brothers like nothing ever happened.
What did mommy learn. That Shag needs to eat. Even if he refuses his dinner, our house rule of no bedtime snack needs to be bent for him. He can either have his dinner again, or something that is a long acting sugar. Yes, I am the mommy that put my two year old to bed without a snack because he did not eat his dinner. The good thing about his diagnosis is that he will grow out of it by school age and will not have any long term implications.

Oh, poor little guy and POOR MOM! I can only imagine what you felt like. I am sending many good thoughts for a much better week. I talked to your mom today and got the scoop... Hang in there.
So glad you know what it is so you can help him- sweet little guy! Such a cutie.
Funny thing - when I was about that same age, my brother whacked me in the head with a golf club - I have pictures of my head with the blood like you posted of Shag. Stitches and a scar that remains to this day....
hope YOU recover from your crazy week.
oh what a hard week!
it makes me tired just thinking about it.
you must be exhausted....but grateful.
glad he's okay.
anytime a mom hears 911 it makes us panic. i started to tear up when i read it!
here's to better week!
My heart goes out to you! Thank God it turned out to be nothing serious!
Sending some prayers your way for a peaceful, healing week.
Oh My Gosh!!! That is horrible! I cannot imagine how worried and stressed you've been this week!!
I'm soooo glad Shag is ok!
Oh my goodness, that is awful. Well, I guess it was a lesson learned, but a very hard one at that! I often do the no snack if you don't eat dinner, too. Would not have thought it to lead to something like that!
We've had to call 911 in the middle of the night, too. I know the feeling...it's just awful. :(
Oh my goodness, glad to hear everything is alright!! Missed seeing you guys last week!!
Oh. My. Goodness! I can't even imagine how stressed and worried you must have been. How awful to see your little one so sick. At least you know what's going on now. Wow. Hugs to you and your little man!
Wow, what a week. I am so sorry you had to go through all of that. I'm glad Shag is doing better. Hope this week goes better...hugs to you!

Oh my Lord, poor little guy. I am glad that he is doing better, how scary for all of you!!

Ohmygoodness, this made my heart race just reading it.
I'm so glad he's doing better.
You are such a great mom!
One of my biggest fears is a golf club to the head.. It makes me queasy just thinking about it.
How incredibly scary. I am glad he is doing better. We do no snacks before bed if no dinner is eaten too.
Oh my goodness! I am so glad he is alright...that must have been very scary for you...I know I would have been scared...he looks as happy as can be! That is a beautiful picture of the two of you! What a cutie pie!!
I am glad he is doing better, what a horrible week for all of you. I wish I could have been able to get to the hospital. You took beautiful pictures of such a scary time.
I love that little boy!
