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...

summer...

Good summer A1c at 7.5. up a little from last  visit but this is not a surprise because of his illness and antibiotics.

He was tested for allergies and other autoimmune diseases and looks like he might have celiac disease too... poor little man. We have to go see another specialists for his opinion... The kid is only 4, can't he have a little break ? :(

Despite Diabetes, we are having a lot of summer fun. Swimming (lots), camping (yes, doing site changes in rustic campground really sucks!), and lots of smores (YUM).  His favorite, of course, are the smores..... :)

I love my little man.

another round of antibiotics.... ugg...

well, second round of antibiotics didn't work either, poor kid. He is pretty miserable (nose wise). Starting third round of antibiotics, with new Dr's office and an order for allergy testing.... To get the source and hopefully end this rediculous cycle...

Its been VERY hot here... we are not used to having weeks and weeks of 90's and little clouds and even less rain...

We hit the park via bike ride this morning and by 1030 am it was already in the upper 80's... whew....Will got to ride in the cart while momma did all the work though so he didn't really mind at all :)

We are hybernating in the AC most of the days when it gets really hot. Heat is hard on a diabetics body... especially when they are only 4.

Momma thinks the beach will be a good distraction for him later though.... (I can only take so much of the Wii ) :)

LOVIN' summer time....
