Keep your fingers crossed

Tomorrow we go over to GR for Olivia's Dr. opt and class 3 for Tim and I. Hoping that this A1C is much lower than her previous A1C, I'm really hoping that she's in the 8's, and if she was in the 7's I think I might fall over and die from excitement!!! I know that if it's not a big change this time that it's coming!! So keep your fingers crossed for me!!

Looking forward to a great summer

Things are still going pretty well with her numbers, we've mastered the skills we've been taught and really love being able to keep better control of her!!! We have even questioned the pump a little bit, but we know that it is even a better path to control...so we're taking it!! Before there was so much guessing on our parts and now it's very mathematical...much less room for error!

I can't wait for summer to be here, to have her home with me and get her started on the pump...how exciting!! I wouldn't even dream of attempting to try to start her on the pump during the school year, so this is really all working out great!! She has her next opt. on the 28th and I'm really hoping and praying for a much lower A1C!! I'm trying not to get myself too excited, we've really only been doing their method for a couple of weeks, and trying to do their method for about a month or so. I know it will be coming down, even if it's not this time, it will be next time for sure!!

As I'm sure most of you know it looks like we will be moving South here in a few months, this is such a great time for me to find that perfect school for her!! Although I do really like where she's at, I don't like it as a Mother of a Diabetic child...it's just not a good fit!! I now have this opportunity to start over and find the right school for all my kids, but more importantly a school that is going to be a good environment for a Diabetic child. I'm hoping and praying that I find a school with a great nurse, has a junk food policy and one that I will be welcomed in at all times!! I don't think it will be too hard, but if I don't find that perfect school we might just be looking at homeschooling! Who knows what the immediate future is going to bring, I just hope it brings us to so a great A1C, happy home, great school and a good healthy year for my kids!!

Loving her numbers!!!

I am a little nervous that now that I've actually said that it's all going to come crashing down on me...YIKES!! But it's been great, I love seeing her numbers be in the low 100's at meal time, it makes me sooo happy! She ran high for a few days with the strep throat, but then she went right back into giving me some great numbers!

I will never question myself again about not being sure about a Dr., just because he's a Dr. doesn't mean he knows everything, or is right for you! Best thing I've done to date for her diabetes is leaving that office and searching out something new and something better! We had our first class the other day and were able to learn even more than we thought was possible! We have another class at the end of the month and then on July 11th we go to our first pump class...YEAH!! On this day we can order our pump, I have waited for this day to come for sooo long, it will surely be a wonderful day when we receive our pump and she is able to be "hooked" up!! All the vanity issues I use to have about it have gone out the window, I want her to be able to eat if she's hungry and have seconds if she wishes! Anyways, I'm waiting patiently because I'm learning so much, she's doing good and I know she's being well taken care of know!!
