Hyperinsulinism

Blood Tests finally came back and Christopher has Hyperinsulism or Hyperinsulinemia (sort of like Diabetes in reverse - he produces too much insulin). The Dr’s have put him on some medication to counteract that. No idea what this means for the long term, whether it is just a “for now” problem or whether it my mean a long term treatment plan. Christopher’s paediatrician said that there is no known link between VACTERL and hypoglycaemia, so this makes our kid more unique *SIGH* I don’t think Christopher needs any more uniqueness in his life :)
