A day in our shoes! Lachlans long road to recovery

Lachlan has been rushed back to PCH to undergo further tests, he has deteriorated very quickly and the team of drs are working to find answers.  We are trying to keep Lachlans sugar levels above 4 as he is just having constant Low after Low

Please help my little hero get well and come home. We have been in & out of hospital like  PCH is our second home.  Lachlan is 10 years old, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes & Other Auto immune.
Last Year myself & Lachlan spent Two weeks in Care of PCH for type 1 management so I could train to take over the  independents of Lachlans Treatment as his Father was very unwell at the time, not being able to help with his care. Whilst we were admitted Lachlan was to be celebrating his 10 th bday, 2 days before his bday we found out his Father had passed away suddenly. Lachlan has suffered Trauma & has had ongoing health problems since. 

Lachlan has had vacant seizure  which lead to him having a facial droop so undergoing Eeg’s and MRI under Nuero to get some answers. 

Lachlan has just been diagnosed also with Autism, Sensory issues, needle phobia, and Auto immune problems. He has PTSD & anxiety from his recent Trauma. 

Lachlan is undergoing tests atm which is making him feel very frustrated and scared as he can’t swollow food, or keep any solids down. He has been in and out of hospital for a few weeks but has now been admitted again as he is losing weight and deteriorating very rapidly.  He has been on a liquid diet not requiring a nose feed at this stage but now liquid is being a challenge so nose feed might be the answer. 

Lachlan has not had a break, we have just been home for 3 days after a long week of admission before having to be rushed back to PCH with significant LOWS 
requiring hospital care, being type 1 & not eating is a major cause for concern.

I am now a widow with 2 children whom both have medical issues. I also suffer Auto immune myself. Lachlans undergoing many tests in the coming days from MRI to  therapy to unimaginable planning for his-future ahead. 6 am tomorrow he is on the emergency list for surgery to take some biopsy’s from his previous scans. This will hopefully indicate what we’re dealing with & his treatment plan going forward. 

Lachlan is stressed, scared and in pain. He doesn’t understand what’s happening to him and his anxiety has been hard to manage.

He wants to eat so bad and wants to be well to be home with his big sister & be strong enough to do the things he loves. 

With Lachlans needle phobia he requires a insulin pump and needs to be in a private health fund to cover the costs which is very high, being a new widow, having another child @ home defending for herself, thankfully I have my Mum to support me as much as possible with her care and daily needs. 

Weekly hospital visits takes its toll, now being admitted again and undergoing further treatment plans I am away from my daughter and that causes significant stress on all. 

We need prayers and we need funds to help ease the pressure off  and  help get Lachlan home,  Not having a huge family is hard &  having to rely to dependently on close friends, now bing a young Widow not knowing what blow we will have next.  pain is unbearable at times watching my children go through so much suffering,  Losing my husband & the trauma that has followed on from his passing & now my little boy is fighting to stay strong and well. I’m trying to be strong and take each day as it comes, but some days are harder than others. 

We will update as soon as we know more 
at this time we ask you keep Lachlan in your thoughts & prayers
