Hospital Day #1 - Alarmingly Low Blood Sugar! 😨 (5/17/17)

[@lucy714]

Aw girl I'm so sorry you're going through all this! Although being in the hospital sucks I'm glad you're safe and that they're taking care of you. I really hope the doctors will be able to help you feel a little better soon. Best of luck, you can do this!

[@emilyarredondo3246]

I have checked back several times in anticipation for your video. I have been praying hard for you since your video yesterday. I am so glad you are getting some help! Disappointed your doctor could not be of more help though. I hope you can figure out a great treatment plan. PRAYERS!

[@tami77090]

Oh Jaque Prayers for answers and healing of the things that can be...You are a joy to watch! I see you fighting through things and you're such a warrior tears come to my eyes ! I'm much older than you and judd you're both young enough to be my children .I'm 52 and have fibromyalgia chronic pain and of course osteoarthritis I know my pain and complaints are minor compared to yours so I personally look up to you

[@needtoknow1989]

I'm a bit upset at insurance right now. I know there aren't any certain things with chronic Illness. But it taking an emergency hospital visit to get zofran. I may be wrong insurance, but I think a hospital stay is more expensive then a monthly supply of zofran. The courage and strength you both show through all of this is inspiring.

[@KoalaBeAsh]

Depending on what insurance is, switching might result in higher monthly payments with the same results of being told "they're sorry they can't provide." So it's just a balance of trying to figure something out and they could still approve her, they just have to make sure she tries everything else first. I don't know her situation though, just giving an example of maybe why she hasn't switched? :/ I just hope she's able to get the help she needs because you're right an ER trip for that is way too much. Hope today/tomorrow is a bit easier Jaquie

[@hannahrobin7449]

It wasn't just to get zofran though - she legit cannot eat. This is a hospital visit to try to help her GI recover or to fit a feeding tube.

[@needtoknow1989]

Hannah Robin yeah I know she didn't go to get Zofran.

[@miss-megative2683]

Mendez S insurance doesn't have to approve Zofran before they administer in the hospital. They just do it and bill later.

[@needtoknow1989]

miss-megative I was commenting on that very fact that when in hospital no prior approval is needed. So basically if your trying to stay well, sorry. If your on a lifeline oh that's when we'll pay attention. It's just wrong.

[@annettesh75]

I'm so sorry you had that experience with the nurses...its frustrating. Hopefully they learned their lesson, gave an apology and it never happens to anyone else.

[@jayvanderbilt1459]

Oh no! So sorry you are still suffering but so glad you are in the hospital where they can help and get you back on track. Hang in there and rest. Sending healing thoughts your way

[@healthyishgal733]

Oh no! So glad that they've got a plan in place, it's great to have a hospital know you. I hope you're feeling better today! Sending love from snowy Colorado!

[@bethwindows3509]

your positive aditude has helped me get through my wisdom teeth surgery pain

[@Lee_bfit]

I'm at home complaining of pain from having teeth pulled and you are fighting for your life. makes me feel like I need to shut up and be grateful and pray for you. I hope you get better soon. we all ❤ you and are praying for You! 🤞🤞🤞

[@agirlisariot]

oh jaquie, i'm so sorry you're being admitted again but i'm so hopeful that this is the right next step after watching your gp worsen these past few weeks. being admitted sucks, especially when you're feeling your worst, but i'm glad that the severity of your gp is being taken seriously and you're at a hospital you're comfortable with. sending you lots of strength and spoons 💕🥄💕🥄

[@facemonkey13]

I'm so glad you are finally getting treatment. Hang in there! I hope you are able to eat soon!

[@cheyennelopezrosario7672]

Sending good vibes your way Jaquie! Happy to see your finally getting the help that needed for the gastroparesis.

[@Joojoobeans]

Both you and Judd are so strong to go through this together and supporting each other. Its awesome to see how helpful Judd and always being there for you! Really great guy👍🏻

[@95Amelia10]

Praying that you made some progress today! So glad Judd was able to be there for you yesterday afternoon and went to the hospital in time. Hopefully you'll get to see Harlow very soon! Take care and stay strong! :)

[@rayofsunshine091]

I have gastroparesis, as does my aunt. She lives in Washington state and had a procedure done called a pyloroplasty. Has your doctor ever mentioned said procedure? I would look into it and bring it up. There is also a gastric pace maker they could put in your stomach. I hope you find some relief soon. I know the struggle all too well

[@rayofsunshine091]

Because of her having the procedure she only has 1-2 bad days a month. With how bad your symptoms are, you should bring it up.

[@hannahrobin7449]

I've got a friend who has had amazing results from it x where I live it's not available along with a load of other surgeries which can save lives

[@chasethesun5603]

if i may, i have been going to the doctor myself alot, but what i would like to know.. if your stomach doesnt empty right or fast enough or the best, does it always conclude to gastroparesis? i don't know what to expect, and i am now only waiting for the results. i don't want it to be gastroparesis...

[@rayofsunshine091]

Hannah Robin that's the problem I'm having here in jersey.

[@rayofsunshine091]

Lionheart and King My brother in law is having issues digesting, but it's due to his medications. I don't think it's necessarily always gastroparesis. I hope you can find some answers soon and find some relief.

[@Emily-bq1wt]

Praying they can help you feel a bit better, and that you can find healing in any way possible! I hope today has been a little better than the previous days!

[@karenratcliff6028]

Jaquie - please hang in there, girl! Sending prayers and hugs your way. Prayers for Judd also as caregiver and go-between. Hospital trips are just so hard to cope with when you are already weakened. Hopefully they can get you hydrated soon and that will give you a boost toward feeling stronger. You have so many people worried about you and cheering you on. Hopefully you can get a bit of rest while you are there. Glad you are in a place where you feel reasonably comfortable!

[@wt0416]

omg, i hope the staff knows how severe it is from now on. hope they learned their lesson. i'm really happy that judd could take you. hope you feel better. love you from all over the world.

[@hannahrobin7449]

I'm sending you so much love x I'm 18 and have hEDS, PoTS (and more) and am starting to get more severe symptoms of GP, such as tablets taking 5 hours to work, not managing to eat more than one meal a day without extreme pain and today I've not managed a full meal. I also have diabetes so it's pretty severe. I'm hoping it's just a really long IBS flare but I'm starting to have my doubts as I'm okay on a liquid diet. This isn't fair on any of us who are going through this. But you are managing so well with your worsening symptoms - I'm so glad that I found you. It's nice to have someone I can relate too even though I wish you weren't going through this x Thank you so much for sharing your life with us xx

[@tiffgarcia]

so glad you're in the hospital getting help with a team that really seems to want to do what's best form you, which is eating and not just going for a feeding tube. I'm really upset at your doctor's staff, so ridiculous they delayed you getting help. I hope you're doing well. love you!

[@missmeowsby]

Praying for you. Chronic illness is no joke. You are a strong woman and I know you will fight. Your spoonie family is here for you.

[@tauratroxel4577]

I'll be praying for a fast recovery! I know how frustrating it is to deal with doctors and miscommunication with other staff. I had lost over 40 pounds and the doctors didn't think it was a big deal until I told them I had eaten in over a month or so. I have a very similar condition to GP where my brain and stomach don't communicate and I vomit all the time. Staying positive is one of the best things for you right now. I know God has a plan for you. :)

[@sarahbethkosem4634]

Hugs from Hawaii. I've been thinking about you all night and morning since you didn't post after your appt. Get lots of rest knowing you're well looked after xoxo

[@silkepunt6691]

Hope you are OK 😕 Thinking about you girl. The strength you show to keep going is amazing. And the fact that you want to show this all to us, the time you put in making the videos, thank you so much ♥️

[@djlawlz4041]

I'm so sorry that you feel this terrible. All these problems really add up. Hopefully you feel better soon and things get resolved. Prayers!

[@GH-sk7vi]

Hope you are feeling better soon 💕🌟 keep strong 💪🏻

[@gothic1774]

Love you and your awesome dog, hope you get better soon. Sending love and prayers for your recovery.

[@likeacatsspm]

Hello Jaquie and Judd. I am new to Chronically Jaquie. I found your channel when I was researching my own anaphylaxis and I was instantly hooked. You guys are so incredibly sweet together.

[@allergiesrusdb]

I'm glad you are there and getting help! I hope today you are feeling a bit better!! :)

[@em_bubbles]

It sucks that you're in the hospital, but I am glad you are doing slightly better there! I am praying for a quick recovery for you!

[@h7amethyst7]

I hope you feel better soon. Keep the fighting spirit going. Best Wishes!

[@jessicah6982]

One time my friend and I were face timing and she has type 1 diabetes and she said she had to leave and then she told me her blood sugar was. 29! I was worried about her cause she could have possibly died. And this was when we were both either 12 or 13 years old. I hope you feel better soon!!

[@ravenmun]

Praying for you Jacquie! I'm glad you are getting some help now. I wish you the doctor's staff had had better communication, but I'm praying that you'll get what you need in the hospital.

[@phoebebrunt5971]

I'm so sorry to see that your flare up has got to this extent :( Really hope that you get all the help that you need in hospital, and that you and Judd can get some peace of mind ❤️

[@ebonymarie7016]

I've been just going through a lot of your videos and you are a SURVIVOR. It is very encouraging for those of us with chronic illness. :)

[@kayliemurphy9111]

Although it's not the best situation, I'm glad you're getting the medical attention you need and there is a small change toward improvement. It awesome that you have such a great support system. I hope you are back home soon and have the Gastroparesis under control.

[@gidgetgetscrafty]

I hope you're feeling better today with all the IV sugar and nutrients. Best of luck figuring out a treatment plan so you don't end up this malnourished again. And yay for Harlow joining you. Fluff therapy is the best kind.

[@WonderfulBlessedLife]

i just wanted to reach through the screen and give you a hug. you are such a strong young woman you got this. praying for your and judds strength and for the guidance of the dr's to have the right answers to help you get back on your feet.

[@Hannah_jo25]

Praying for you Jaquie you are a rockstar and I am rooting for you Judd and Harlow all the way!

[@rachelparry4973]

We love you. Praying for you guys. Glad that the people at the hospital are taking good care of you.

[@shapperoni9958]

hoping for the best for you Jaquie! keep on keeping on my friend!

[@haleyjade1599]

I'm so early I was waiting for this :)) I love your vids!! hope you feel better 💓

[@savannahbustos9649]

First, Jaquie, you're amazing! I can't believe you manage to get a vlog out while you were in the hospital! Second, I'm sending prayers your way! Third, you are so inspiring! I have a chronic neuromuscular auto immune disease that has kept me in a wheelchair for a while. I'm walking now with a walker, and life is going pretty well for me. I can't imagine having more than one chronic illness, and you have so many! You handle it very well. Thanks for sharing your life with us through these vlogs!

[@disrael5199]

I kept checking to see if there was a video earlier this morning. I had a feeling you were in the hospital. But I feel better that you are there. I'm sure you both feel better that you are there. Sending prayers. Feel better. ❤️

[@DarjaSafronova]

This is so horrible.....im just crying, i just cant stand how people are suffering like this , hope we all will be in a better place in our next life...

[@alyssamontgomery1694]

Oh my goodness! I have a stuffed elephant named Ellie too! She's blue and I've had her basically since birth.

[@TheresaAnnCongdon]

I am glad you are in the hospital and are receiving good care. Feel better sweetie I will pray for you.

[@sweetp1015]

First "medical binder" awesome idea going to start doing that. So sorry how the doctors appointment went. So frustrating. Glad you went to er hope you get to feeling better soon. Lesson learned, go to ER when you think you need to go. Don't wait please! Prayers

[@witchiefox]

I'm so sorry you wound up in the er. I have to say I'm not surprised your Dr said she couldn't admit you. Here in SC Drs can't admit, so I was told by my allergy Dr, only er doctors now in the upstate make the decision who is and isn't admitted. I really hope they get things sorted out for you. My sons and I are praying for you. thank you for still doing these videos even when you feel this bad. you videos help my sons understand my health, better than I could explain. you and Judd are amazing and keep up the good fight, much love and healing!

[@diannelinam2407]

Love your "Go" bag! So sorry things are going bad now. Tomorrow is always hope! Always be good to yourself. You can't help it and you know it!

[@jj4christ]

So many hugs! Hugs hugs hugs! My Entyvio failed. Chronic illness is hard. Always be prepared.

[@hunterdanielrogers2403]

The case for your glasses and the bag for your toiletries are adorable

[@lupeguerrero8904]

I will be praying for you!

[@spookyfruity]

My heart broke when I saw hospital in the title 😔 praying for you and your health Jaquie We love you! 🙏🏻💖

[@lunabelle5118]

Even with spending the day in bed, your hair still looks amazing!

[@Miriam3]

I'm so sorry for you. After the previous blog and this one I really think a PEG is a good option, one that goes to your colon so you won't have problems with puking etc. Also you can just use that one for emergency's when you cannot eat, like what you have now. I hope they will come with a solution soon! You're so strong

[@amandabaran1822]

I hope u are having a better morning then yesterday and u start to feel Like yourself again. hopefully the doctors at the hospital can control all you symptoms.

[@kaelatalbert3745]

I hope you feel better soon, you are so strong and are a fighter! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!❤️🙏🏻

[@courtneyhawkins6446]

Jaquie, you should watch The Frey Life on KZbin. Mary recently got a feeding tube for her chronic illness and they are daily vloggers too! Not saying you'll need one 😊 but it might put your mind at ease about life with one. Much love xx

[@BeverleyButterfly]

I know nobody wants hospital but I think going there was a good idea honey. Sending you and Judd lots of prayers and love I hope they can help you get back to where you were xxxx

[@digit51]

Hi Jaquie, so sorry to see that you had a bad night...I`m really hoping that "they" can figure out how to truly help you with some of these medical issues that seem to "perplex" them! Hang in there beautiful, and know that we all care about you, and will keep supporting you...always! God Bless all 3 of you :-) C.S.

[@byuidolphin]

I'm really glad you are getting help even if it is from an admission! Best wishes & prayers for the doctors to know what is best for your body.

[@juliamagical2519]

Gold star to Judd for being the best boyfriend ever! He is such a loving soul and I'm so happy that you have him in your life! also Harlow is the sweetest puppy ever and the three of you are so adorable as well as such an amazing team. Jaquie you are an amazing woman and I hope your insurance stops being such a jerk and lets you actually get the medication you need!

[@Sarai0Mia]

I know hospital isn't always fun but I'm sooooo glad your getting some help and have my fingers crossed your able to eat again soon. My thoughts are with you and I hope you start to feel better soon! Xo

[@erinnbrown9662]

So hope you feel better soon! So glad You and Judd feel good about this! I did think about your sugar being low when you said you started to black out, but then Judd said your Dr. knew. I don't like it when the staff does that! You guys are in my prayers! hope you feel better soon!

[@ActualReality86]

I'm a Type 1 Diabetic, the lowest blood sugar I've bad was 21 that read my machine. I've had blood sugars that say LO meaning under 20.

[@babeejaynes4549]

ActualReality86 I'm type 1 as well, labeled as very brittle and insulin resistant. My sugars run really high or really low, it sucks. My lowest ever was 15, I had been asleep and woke up knowing I was crashing (all the horrible symptoms were in overdrive). I couldn't make my body cooperate and ended up crawling to the kitchen. When my doctor saw that reading on my meter, he was shocked and surprised, saying I actually shouldn't have even woken up, I should've just continued to unconsciousness and died. Hugs to you and hoping for a cure!

[@GlenHunt]

Just sending a smile and prayers today :)

[@farrah9753]

I'm so sorry Jaquie! Hopefully something will work out and you don't have to get a tube. Sending prayers

[@Sheila_TheCraftingFeet]

my thoughts & prayers are with you jaquie. get better soon sweety.

[@sarahisabear]

I had a feeling we'd see you in the hospital in today's vlog when it wasn't up first thing this morning! Well it's probably for the best you got admitted, though I know it's no fun staying in the hospital again. Hopefully the treatments they are working up for you will have a positive effect and you won't need the tube! But even if you do end up needing it, it'll make you feel better so it's worth it. Sending love to you and Judd 💖

[@NorseButterfly]

Office staff does seem to have problems relaying info to doctors, and it doesn't matter what state, specialist, ect..But I'm glad a plan is laid out and ready. Prayers it works! Sending gentle spoonie ((hugs)) 💞

[@MissLeopard28]

I know this is several months later, but it was kind of apparent you weren't feeling well. Your lips were very chapped which indicates dehydration, so I'm glad the doctor said to go to the ER so you could get treatment before it got worse. I've seen your recent videos so it seems like it was the best plan. Glad you're doing better!

[@ThisBubblyJESUSFreak]

I was waiting for this vlog! I'm so, so sorry you're so sick, Jaquie. :'''''((((( I am praying for wisdom for the doctors and staff there and that you can make great improvements during this admission!!!

[@OnlyWayIsUp7]

I had an episode myself last week twice. Passed out both times. A 43 and the other was 17.

[@Squelchmeky]

17 💀

[@rosejohnson7603]

It's really unfortunate that the severity of your situation was not communicated to your doctor because you could have received treatment sooner. Although being in the hospital (especially when Judd has to be at work) is not ideal, it's great that you're finally receiving the medical attention you need. I hope you know you have a lot of people thinking of you and hoping that the doctors in the hospital can get your gastroparesis to a more manageable level.

[@Potterhead34]

Praying for you. Keep thinking positive girl. We're all here to support you 😘

[@Fowlersyndrome]

Lowest blood sugar reading for myself has been 1.4 I live in the UK so not sure what this is converted to in the U.S. but I do know that your blood sugar reading of 59 converts to 3.2 in the UK. Dont you have glucagon at home to use for your hypoglycaemia episodes? Your vlogs are awesome and you have your amazing husband Judd on hand to support you through your daily struggles with all your chronic illnesses and pain etc. Stay Strong Jacquie.

[@Kez_abi]

Thinking of you! Thinking positively now you can, hopefully, get the right new treatment! Xxx

[@superfunlantztime]

I'm so sorry you have to go through all this. I really hope your gastro dr had a good talk with her staff and educated them on proper communication. What an ordeal...

[@Ash-lc1bu]

i was scares as to why you hadn't uploaded at your normal time. you can get through this! praying for you ❤️

[@jeanneewaseck3987]

TY for showing us what to pack in a "go hospital bag" - but so sorry you had to run out and use it! Praying here in Virginia +

[@mousemagnussen246]

I hope that the hospital will make you feel better! And I really want to support your page, but I have to ask my mom about it first. :) All of my dogs are wishing for you to get better

[@kristenlee213]

I pray everything will be getting better!!! your videos are so inspiring and I have been worried about you lately and hope they can help you get some food down!!

[@alyssamontgomery1694]

I did the conversion from the 59 mg/dL to mmol/L (what we use in Canada) (it's 3.2 btw for any other international people wondering) and man, that's crazy low blood sugar!

[@jordshunters]

This is definitely not the outcome I was hoping for. I am so sorry to see you in the hospital again and will pray that they find a solution for you! I'm hoping through banana bags and other IV treatments they can get you back to eating again! I really hope your feeling at least the slightest bit better knowing you're under great care and that hopefully they will get this all under control and you can head home soon!!!

[@vitasolano3272]

Hope so much, fingers crossed you are better with GP soon Jaqui. xxxxx

[@selenas2014]

Jaquie I really hope everything gets better your in my prayers! Stay strong so glad your getting care

[@margarettrevino3625]

Aw girlfriend! I kinda had a bad feeling you were going to end up going to the hospital the way you were eating less and less and vomiting so much! I am super happy you're getting some good care and figuring out a plan of action!! I hope that through medication they can get you to eating again and that the feeding tube is a distant, distant option that won't need to happen! Love you girl!!! Get well!!!

[@SAiken17]

sending you prayers and good vibes for a speedy recovery!!

[@natalieray8587]

I hope you feel better! Sending prayers your way.

[@claireelizabethblake8911]

Not again, love... I hope you feel better, Jaquie. 💜 You can do this!

[@L_JLF367]

My worst low blood sugar was the equivalent to 20, over in the U.K., that's less than 1.2! Thinking of you, hope today's been positive ❤️

[@lisa_roev]

Kind of bummed you had to go to the hospital.. I was waiting for your vlog today, hoping your GI doctor would have a treatment plan ready, since you called her a couple of days in advance, telling the staff about you situation. it makes me angry that they didn't communicate your problem to your doctor properly. thank god you are getting more help now, even if it's through a hospital stay. i so hope you'll feel better soon!!

[@danellwampler7648]

Thinking of you and praying you and your med team come up with a plan that works!!

[@Krae75]

59 is low not a severe low. You should get some oral glucose tabs and a meter to monitor at home. Small amt sugar will bring it back up. Hypoglycemia can cause the nausea also.

[@MissSunny01]

Prayers and thoughts to you

[@RebeccaBeckery]

Genuinely can't even imagine how you feel right now, but I'm still praying for you

[@imfreetobeme8]

I get frustrated when there is not good communication between dr.'s and medical staff. It delays progress but thank God when the patient isn't injured by it. Be well.

[@justcallmejess7294]

I have issues with low sugar especially if I pause or stop ton abrupt. My hydration at home is D5 now to help keep my sugar up. It can get scary for sure. I don't feel the side effects really until under 50. The day my nurse would come to draw labs we would pause my TPN for about 30mins so not too pull in false numbers, etc. Which DOES NOT work now. I'd get calls from...nurse, doctor/s, TPN company, and Lab.... all asking if I was still alive! It took a couple of 35-45 readings before pausing was not an option. (I will mention also, by the time my blood actually got to the lab, I was already hooked back up to my TPN

[@abbykuusisto406]

You're so strong, you got this keep fighting!
