Diabetes Blog Week - Day 7
so i realize i kind of dropped the ball on posting every day last week...i just had an unbelievably crazy few days, and i figured better late than never.  i am skipping day 6 on purpose because it's too late for me to take any pictures right now.

Goodnite....I WISH.....
I've been meaning to tell everyone we found a solution to J.J.'s dermatitis problem(you can read about it here.) Shortly after the last endo appointment I went on a quest to find something J.J. could wear at night other than diapers. Besides we couldn't even find a diaper that would fit him anyway....and we weren't going to go through a medical supply company to buy something in his size.

What I did find are Goodnites. They are for...

Oh me Oh my.....it's been awhile!!
I started a long wordy blog post this evening.....thinking I really had time to do this...but I don't so.... here is the short version.

Endo appt. 3 months ago.....

A1C..... 7.5....yes steadily rising!

LOTS of LOWS!! He wasn't feeling them until he hit 30's. NOT GOOD. Endo wanted to see us keep him high for a month at least. Told us not to worry about the next A1C....YEAH RIGHT!!!

Had his...

Endo Appt #....(Oh who's counting anymore?)
Monday we set out early for J.J.'s 3 month endo visit. We debated even going, considering the snow storm and the amount of time it would take us. Normally a 1:15 minute drive took us 3 hours. We were an hour late!!! We called en route to let them know we were coming, hoping they would still see us. Our endo (I LOVE HER!!) said she would see us no problem!

The office was like a ghost town. Normally a very active clinic now had the...

First Major Illness Since 2007
It all started Saturday morning. J.J. didn't finish his breakfast. Said he didn't feel good. He didn't look good. I called for Jason, since he was the one that managed his breakfast that morning. Not a big deal, diabetes wise. Jason had put him on a dual wave, so he turned that off. All was good....kinda.

By noon, Jason was gone, and I was thinking about heading to the gym. The girls informed me that J.J. had fallen asleep and...

Practice, Practice.....
I expected the "I'm free".....I didn't expect the second line. It made me realize how different he must feel all the time. So....I'll have to add another positive to MDI!!:)

This morning I began teaching the rest of the family how to take care of J.J. on MDI. When J.J. was first diagnosed they were all really too shocked and scared to want to learn. We didn't push them, but hoped they would step up. Eventually they...

Decisions, Decisions....
Making medical decisions can be so stressful. Maybe it's because we often don't know what course of treatment truly is best. Which route will be better in the long run.....or even short term. Jason and I daily make decisions and judgment calls concerning J.J.'s care, but today we decided to go pumpless and give shots a try again.

This morning we had J.J.'s endo check-up. His a1c was a titch higher, but nothing to complain about. We...

Happy Camper
Noah busting a move at Dance Night

On Friday, I hopped in the car with Jon and my mom to fetch Noah from his 2 week stint at Camp Joslin. During his time away, we received just one letter written on his third day, stating that he didn't think camp was for him, and that he was very homesick. Oh boy. I tried not to overreact upon reading that, but every day of camp that went by, I anticipated a phone call from...
