Type 1 Diabetic Diagnosed Novermber 2010

William was diagnosed in November 2010 with Type 1 diabetes. The official diagnosis and first parent supply training day was the day before Thanksgiving. We spend all of Wednesday at Helen Devos Childrens Hospital learning how to count carbs, give shots, and check blood sugar levels. Whew....then we were sent on our way with a bunch of stuff and they said good luck, we'll see you in three months, and if you have any questions call us :)

WHAT???? OMG...... Here we go...

Been awhile...

So its been a month since our last post. We have been dealing with a lot. He just finished his second round of antibiotics for a sinus infection that doesn't want to go away. And of-course, I have one too. We've had many nights of checking at 2am. He seems to have the night phenomenom which he climbs rapidly when he first falls asleep.

When he first was diagnosed he did everything in opposites. They said he would drop after exercise. He actually climbed rapidly. Now on the other hand he did a switcheroo. He now rapidly drops. It is amazing when you think you get things figured out they switch again.

We are approaching his one year anniversary. Man, where did the year go? This anniversary is kind of sad that we have to celebrate it, but glad for modern medicines in which makes celebrating possible.
