✨Patient Spotlight: Meet Tachi✨
This handsome boy was admitted to our hospital for treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). ❤️🩹
DKA is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication of diabetes that occurs when there isn't enough insulin available for the body to properly use glucose for energy. The body begins breaking down fat instead, producing ketones that can build up and cause dangerous changes within the body.
Despite everything he was going through, Tachi was one of the most sweetest and loving patients you could ask for. 🥹❤️ He was always ready for some extra attention from our team—and as you can probably imagine, we were more than happy to give it!
Patients like Tachi have a way of stealing the hearts of everyone involved in their care. ❤️🐾

We're wishing this handsome boy all the best as he continues on his journey. 💙
