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...

How Ironic life can be...

Williams Puppy Dog Lucky Boy, now 8months old and 91 lbs :)

We got him in November of 2012 for Williams 5th birthday and 2yr diabetes anniversary and Celiac Diagnosis... thought we'd do something fun... didn't realize how IRONIC life can be.....

we picked a dog that is now on a GLUTEN FREE DIET.... lol....and acts like William = head strong and willfull :)  How sweet life can be....

William is doing great and is super excited he is now "old enough" to go to his big school.... they just evaluated him for school readiness, and now thats all he can talk about. We can't wait till this fall...(I wish time would slow down a little bit, as the time seems to be flying by).

Diabetes wise.... his sugar is all over the place but we are managing and getting back in range...


Celiac wise...... Doing OK.. Sucks not being able to order anything off the fast food menus, but also makes us eat home more and slightly better choices....

Losing his first tooth was "not cool".... He didn't like the thought of falling asleep with his tooth under his pillow... It was ok when he woke up with money instead... He can be cute....


Lost his first tooth :)

Winter Blahs.....

Mom really hates Celiac and Diabetes! William is a go with the flow kind of guy and taking it better than the rest of us... He doesn't even seem to mind having to take cold lunches to daycare (yet). He loves still being able to eat ice cream :) 

Wills BG numbers are getting better/ more stable but according to the endocrinologist a little to low. His most current A1c is only 6.8 which by the way is better than his grandmas :)  His target range is about 8 so they (doctors) want us to bring his average up a little bit.

Mom took Will sledding the other day at our favorite spot. He had a BLAST! He love being able to go down the big kid sledding hill and hit the "bumps". (mom not so much). His diabetes took over though and we had to leave after an hour and half because he was low (50's) and after several pieces of candy and it wouldn't come up, mom said enough....   Sledding is hard work ya know!

Happy Winter (or not) as we are getting enough snow this past month to make up for the whole winter....
