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 :)
