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...

Jan '12

So, it's now January of 2012. Will turned 4 in December and he is growing like crazy. We had fun sledding the other day with the years first heavy snow fall. He had so much fun, I had to keep feeding him food to keep his sugar above 90. He didn't care, he only cared about the girls he was winning the races with down the hill.

We've been really struggling with daycare and the quality of his diabetes care. It's gonna be a lifelong battle atleast until he is old enough for self care. I can't wait until he is old enough to carry a cell phone and I can call and check on him whenver I feel worried. Ok, so he probably wouldn't like that so much.

Will has been having several "lows" and we are not sure why. He is growing, but sometimes this rollar coaster can be a little much....

We sure do love our little man though.....
