morning follow up

Well, 7 came and went (of course).  About 8 the food arrived, so we could proceed – in theory.  Nobody knew how to use the new measured dose insulin pen the higher ups recommended we buy yesterday.  We asked everyone on this pediatric inpatient ward and on the emergency pediatric ward, and nobody knew.  They all pointed at the book that came with the pen, which said “according to the instructions from your healthcare professional,” and complained that it wasn’t more detailed and that the pictures didn’t show it clearly.  So we made our best guess, which is not the same best guess of the head nurse last night.  Anyhow, he’s had fasting blood sugar taken, received insulin from me (according to our best guess), had a good breakfast, and is laughing with Jack at this point.  Ugh!  Africa.  We thank God he hears our prayers.  And PRAY we hear about our departure plans today.
