In the hospital again

Yeah, well, it's not enough that my husband is in the hospital, but Eri ended up in DKA yesterday. Her nurse never called me from school yesterday and she had HI bgl and ketones and her heart was racing. I was at the hospital w/ Eric yesterday and at 5 something my dad called me and said Eri was HI and had high ketones and was power puking. They admitted her last night, but we are now home, although her dad is still in the hospital(til probably Saturday)...
By the time we got to the hospital her bgl was dropped to 579 and high ketones...was totally in DKA...all that sucky stuff. Her pulse was 106bpm when we arrived. (She had taken her 20u of lantus and bolused in 15u of novolog...but puked b/f she could eat).
Then, this morning, her bp was 72/38 w/ a pulse of 53. Lovely, eh?

So, she had no ketones, no acidocis and her bgl's were in the 100's. They were going to keep us, but Eri didn't want to miss another day of school and she felt fine(except her heart pounding, which they don't do anything about) and all that.

I'm just pure exhausted. I ran between both hospitals today. Last night(well, this morning around 1), my husband called...wanted to leave b/c of a nurse...his pulse ox dropped to 80, his bp was 108...he suffered his first major anxiety attack and she was yelling at him. That left me feeling helpless.

Oh well...I'll shut up.
This is all ridiculous...
Here's Eri watching tv while waiting for another blood draw(every half hour)...
