It was supposed to be a weekend getaway, a chance for Xavier and Louise Ardini of Claverack, N.Y. to spend some quality time at a Vermont farm inn with their children and grandchildren.
It turned out to be a four-day saga in which strength of family out-dueled potential tragedy.
“They’ll talk about it forever, my grandchildren particularly,” Louise Ardini, 69, said. “It made quite an impression on them.”
The family, an 18-member contingent of babies, kids, parents and grandparents, had arrived at Liberty Hill Farm Inn on Aug. 28. The following morning, they’d gone to church and returned with a funny story about how, just as the priest was giving thanks that Vermont might dodge a direct hit by Tropical Storm Irene, the lights went out.
By Sunday afternoon, the moment had become an omen.

This story seems to have got the use of insulin totally the wrong way round:
Why would your BG level DROP if you weren't taking enough insulin? It wouldn't!
