Whew!, Aaron has never been this low before.
He was outdoors playing (daddy was outside working) while i was inside cooking dinner which was taking me longer then expected. Well i finally finished up fixed Aarons plate to cool and was about to call him in to eat.
We met one another at the door Aaron was banging on it crying "my stomach hurts!" I checked him thinking hmmm probally the regular low after playing hard say 75 or maybe 65. NOPE!!! WRONG!! AARON WAS 27!!!! I took a deep breath in and rushed to get some orange juice in him amazingly he let me feed him his spaghetti then said he wanted icecream. His little eyes were so weak he looked like he was about to just ly down and sleep.
I am use to highs not lows!! This morning daycare told be right before lunch Aaron complained about stomach they checked and he was 50.

Oh yeah i ordered the Salter Scale 1450 yesterday and should arrrive tommorrow i cant wait i think it will help out alot!! I honestly think we have been undercounting his carbs and not giving enough coverage at meal times.

Lows like that ARE scary! It's great that he is feeling his lows and is telling you about them!! Glad all worked out in the end.

Yes the lows are very scary. Britt came in last week and was 27. Its got to be this nice weather we are having. Well you took care of his low like a pro.. But its always so scary when its your real first low.
