    Author Notes:

    Kallie gets sick.

    Shane said that they’d been told to wait, and it was almost an hour before anyone had come to talk to them. Eventually, one of the ER doctors had stepped over, telling them immediately that they’d done all they could to get Kallie stabilized as soon as they possibly could, and that she was now out of critical danger.

    “We ran a blood glucose test, and I’ve only seen one with results that were higher while the patient was still conscious,” he said. Shane and Alice had looked at each other and then back at him, rather blankly.

    “Has she been urinating a lot recently?” the doctor asked. Alice nodded. “More thirsty than usual?” Another nod. “Sluggish, or seeming to be very tired all the time?” A nod. “Nausea in the past several days?”

    He didn’t even wait for her nod this time. I imagine it must have been fairly obvious, since she’d come in covered in vomit. “From her glucose readings and those symptoms, I’d say it’s fairly certain that your daughter has Type I diabetes.”

    Alice frowned. “Is that because I fed her too much sugar?”

    “No, but that’s a fairly common misconception. Type I is very different from Type II, which usually occurs later in life and is largely influenced by lifestyle. Type I is an autoimmune disease, which means that the body attacks itself. More specifically, the immune system produces antibodies that attack the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. It has absolutely nothing to do with lifestyle or with anything aside from the fact that something in her body triggered it to see the insulin as a threat and to attack the cells that produce it.”

    Alice nodded, although she appeared pretty confused about the explanation. Still, the specifics didn’t matter much to her at the moment. “Is she going to be all right?” she asked.

    The doctor sighed “We’ve started her on insulin intravenously, as well as saline. She’s not conscious at the moment, which is fairly common after running so high, but I’m confident that she’ll pull through just fine. We’ll need to keep her in the ICU for intense observation over the next few days to make sure there isn’t a relapse, but once we get her glucose levels stabilized she should be all right.”

    1. Sorry I haven’t commented in awhile! I love how Kallie loves Shane and Jenny!I also like the direction you are taking this story and not too much of Alice in the hospital because it makes me sad…Great Work MT!!!

    3. What an amazing chapter, MT!! I can see why it would be exhausting for you. Incredibly written, as usual. I love the humor in the first part of the chapter — it really helped balance out the drama in the end. The whole “is Kallie gay” thing at the beginning was so funny and so Danish. I could see a conversation like that. Sounds like, in this case, it was a smart idea to push the potty training. It’s wonderful how bonded Kallie is to all her aunties — Alice and Dana are so lucky to have them. Kallie shouting out “Love” is just too cute. Poor Kallie!! You paint a very vivid picture of what happened with her. Thank goodness Shane was there. I know Alice could have handled it, but, another set of hands can really help. I’m a bit pissed at the doctor, too. I think parents sometimes don’t push when they need to — thinking they will be seen as overbearing. Alice and Dana have a rough road ahead. I hope they can get quickly past the guilt and blame and focus on getting Kallie the treatment she needs. Thanks so much, MT!! Truly remarkable.

    4. Bravo, MT! You deserve a round of applause. I wish you a good sleep. I can see how draining it must have been for you to write it as I read through the ordeal. I cannot help but feel bad for all the children who have TYPE I diabetes and the parents who have to care for them. A & D were facing a trying time ahead. It is comforting to know that Shane, Jenny and Helena were always supportive. You never seize to amaze me how in depth and detailed you write your stories. LMAO with the Pepto-Bismol comment. The McDonald’s lunch was a scream. I hope the doctors would figure out quickly what had to be done for Kallie. She was too adorable and lovable to have to suffer because of this disease at her young and tender age. I also love the fact that Shane built another bed for Kallie. The growing bond between Kallie, Shane and Jenny were pretty obvious. This is truly a work of art. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! & Hats off to you.
