Adventures in Wisdom Teeth, Part Deux

So far, so good!  We made it to the oral surgeon's office on time AND in the blood sugar range he wanted.  What are the chances of that happening??  The procedure went well, and we are back home.  We were gone from home just about 2 hours.   Crazy, right?  Feeling is coming back, blood sugar is coming back down.  Hopefully, recovery will be smooth.  As much as I hate this painful part, the sedation/surgery itself is the most worrisome part for me.

Adventures in Wisdom Teeth

Tomorrow marks another new adventure with type 1 diabetes....wisdom teeth removal.  Jason and I have both had ours removed, as has our older son.  But this is the first time we've experienced it with diabetes.
The oral surgeon was awesome at our consultation.  He had a plan for insulin management for the day: he wants Seth over 150 tomorrow morning, regular Lantus tonight but no Humalog in the morning (duh, no food), and they will have a glucose drip handy for his IV just in case. He also thought Dexcom was really cool and saw that it would be a useful tool during the procedure.

I've been to the store, so I think we have all the soft foods on hand that we may need.  Mashed potatoes, yogurt, cottage cheese, tuna, ice cream, popsicles (regular and sugar free), pudding, jello (regular and sugar free), and Powerade (regular and sugar free).  We've picked up his antibiotic and pain pills from the pharmacy.  What have I forgotten?  If you notice anything, please comment!  We still have tonight to pick anything up.  Otherwise, I guess we're ready for tomorrow.  Ready to KDA in yet another new area.
