DI

Nicole and I spent 3 days in hospital the week before last so she could undergo an water deprivation test. I was to be the final step in diagnosing diabetes insipidis. Well, the test showed that she doesn't have diabetes insipidis. However she is somewhat bizarre as she took over 20 hours to dehydrate. Most normal children of her age would have taken under 16 hours. She now has to have a kidney scan and more urine tests.

Nicole was in a room with 4 beds. The child next to her was a girl who goes to Nicole's school and whose mother attended tech with me last year. The first night the bed opposite was occupied by a teenage girl who's father appeared to be in the black power gang. The nurses moved her out into another single room after her father visited at around 11pm and kept everyone awake with his colourful language. The bed was then occupied by Claudia Billinge. She is one messed up little girl. All she seemed to do was cry.
