Wow, We're Really Going Through Diapers

The week before we found out my son had diabetes I was just saying, "the kids really need to drink more water." So that weekend we went to Wal-Mart and got the boys water bottles and a little Toy Story water dispenser. The kids and I were having a water filled weekend until my youngest started not feeling well. It was just Saturday night so I figured he caught a little bug. As the week continues I noticed he was urinating a lot, to the point he was filling up the diapers in a hour or two.  I remember thinking, "either he needs to start using the potty or slow down on the water." The whole week was that way, him drinking a lot and then him filling up diapers.  It appeared my "drinking water" campaign was going great and had even worked with one problem, the frequent urinating.

A week had passed and something did not seem right with my child. He was sluggish, not sleeping well, he was still going through diapers, and VERY thirsty. Saturday night, maybe even wee hours of Sunday morning my son comes down stairs to get something to drink and then he just pukes. I did not care what time it was that was enough and we were on our way to the ER.
