So we (Olivia) have decided on the Omnipod, she wore one around for three days and loves it!!! It's a pump with no tubing and it just sticks onto your skin, pretty cool. We would just change this pod every 2-3 days, so just one poke every three days instead of 12 shots!!! Sounds great right...well my Doctor, Dr. Halsey is refusing to sign off on the papers that I need signed for Olivia to get the Pod, what a JERK!! He said he wants to make it a "team" decision, not a "my decision", but yet he won't meet with me until her scheduled opt. in two months!!!! So I spent a day on the phone calling doctors and found one in Grand Rapids that can get her in on March 18th. So we're on hold until then and just hoping that he will be willing to sign off on the papers!!
Olivia's sugars have been a little crazy!! She calls me at 10:00 from school every morning and she has been between 400-450 every day for two weeks...ahhh...I'm going out of my mind!! We keep upping her dosage, but can't break this cycle, I just don't know what to do!! She did get strep throat and a ear infection...ugh..I don't think the sickness is ever going to end!! So maybe this is why she is running high. She has confessed to me a few times now that school is hard for her, it's hard not to be able to eat what all the other kids are eating. Her school gives out WAY too much candy, and she has to be strong enough to say no. Also with her sugars being so high it's hard for her to concentrate, so maybe she is a little stressed out and this is effecting her sugar. I'm thinking of home schooling her, I think it might be best for her physically and emotionally. I don't want her to miss out, but I do want her to feel normal (as possible) and not have to stress about food all the time. Who knows, this whole disease makes you feel lost...I am lost, just trying to do the best I can!!
