Long night for mama

First night on the pump went well for Will because he slept all night. Mom on the other hand had to get up and do a mid-night BG check. He was over 400 so I had to give him plenty of insulin to bring him back down. Rechecked two hours later and yep, coming down. Finally able to go back to restful sleep (for hour and half). Yep that means 5 hours of split sleep for mom over night and have to keep up with the very energetic Will the next day. I hear a nap calling my name!

what a week!

Will's third site was infected and started antibiotics to get rid of it. Well, yesterday we spent an hour waiting in the doctors office because he is now allergic to that antibiotic. Poor kid. He is now on benadryl for the hives/ rash/ and itching.

Today, Thursday July 28, 2011 we are going active with the insulin pump. Wish us luck and send your prayers that this will go smoothly!

first pump hicup

Yesterday when we went to change his site, the one he was wearing was very infected. Puss started ozzing out and yes he was screaming...  We had no indication that it was infected as the infection was completly under his site and couldn't see a thing. Poor baby....
With the pharmacy close until Monday, we had to watch and make do for the night. Still angry red and hot to touch and waiting for Drs office to call in some antibiotics.
Since we are only in the start process and on saline solution we are giving him a little pump break for now....

Pump starts Friday (just one more day)

We are excited to get Will started on the pump. We know it's not going to be a miracle worker but we are looking forward to giving less pokes just the same. 

Will really enjoys playing in the sand and water at Lake Michigan. He builds sand castles with daddy and then decides its "boat time." He has a floaty that he loves riding the waves in.. Very fun to watch the fun loving preschooler find enjoyment in the waves...
