A special little girl was born on Friday, July 7.
This is Elizabeth Grace,
named after our Erin Elizabeth.
She is the daughter of my niece,
Soon after this little sweetie was born, they noticed she was very lethargic. Tests were done, and they found her blood sugar level was dangerously low. She is now in Children's Memorial Hospital in the NICU. The results of more in-depth tests point to a condition called hyperinsulinemia - her pancreas is secreting too much insulin which causes her sugar to drop. The doctors have currently prescribed a medication plan hoping to regulate her little system, and she will most likely be in Children's for about a month.
Please keep Elizabeth and her very tired and worried parents in your thoughts as life's roller coaster takes them on this unsettling ride.
She has a big sister at home waiting for her too.
Perhaps you remember this photo and post from last summer.
