Sophia that's scary about your Mom. I hope that she's okay.

I'm so sorry askye.

I know I am here and said I wouldn't be, but...

Amy- the high blood sugar doesn't cause vomiting either, right?

I am thinking maybe she lost so much weight that she just wasn't used to a large rich meal (she has lost about 70 pounds)plus she has acid reflux.

I also think my mother is now sorry her bathroom is carpeted (although I cleaned it for her).

Oh, askye, I'm very sorry.

Sophia, I'd say it is more likely to be acid reflux over high blood sugar because, according to my limited understanding, high blood sugar issues appear over time. My dad has diabetes and his doc told him that high blood sugar takes extended time (multiple days) to appear.

Noah had nosebleeds yesterday which freaked him out. Kid needs less nosepicking, less noseblowing and more saline via nebulizer.

Yeah, one big meal is more likely to be acid reflux, Sophia. Dangerously high blood sugar takes a while to develop, and the metformin wouldn't have anything to do with it.

Also, really high blood sugar doesn't cause vomiting at all. It's going to cause dehydration -- thirst, dry mouth, lack of sweating even though you're really warm -- and fever, etc.

Oh, askye, I hope Will arrives soon, or has arrived I think to recieve comfort from flesh and blood rig;ht nkw

Thanks Amy and Kat- that confirms what I was thinking. My aunt was really blaming herself for having a high starch meal, so I feel bad.

askye, I'm glad your are close enough to Will now that he can come by.

intense lemon sandwich cookies with biscoff spread filling!

I don't know what biscoff is but I am huge lemon fan so I support this plan! I'm still not sure what I'm going to do and I have one weekend left to test recipes. The one cookie I did a couple of weeks ago -- a chocolate crinkle cookie with walnuts -- was really good if, possibly, too simple to be a prize winner.

On the subject of older moms I always think of the bitchy pregnant woman on the English Office telling Dawn how "there is nothing sadder than an old mum." Which is pretty rage making! I am having to slowly try to fire my normal dental hygienist because she has seriously brought up her disapproval of older first time mothers at least three times while cleaning my teeth! And she knows that I'm in my early 40s and newly married although, of course cuz it's none of her business, she has no idea what my plans are with regards to having kids. So rude!

I don't know what biscoff is but I am huge lemon fan so I support this plan!

Biscoff spread is a spread made from cinnamon cookies. It's from Belgium, and it's fabulous.

I'm fully supportive of older parents, by the way! Just not a possibility for me the baby-having way. I kind of would like to have a hand in raising a child, but that would require partnering up with a single father, which is fine, except for where I haven't mastered the partnering up part yet.
