Diabetes. Diapers. & a Daughter (with a D.A.D on the way): April 2013
http://myddays.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 22, 2013. Anxiously awaiting "the call". I spent the morning watching videos of DAD's (Diabetic Alert Dogs) in action- alerting, retrieving and dialing 911. I'll leave you with this one. Quartaknee or Courtney or grlygrlwunder. Friday, April 19, 2013. You were “Super Robot Guy” again this evening (you have been for days). I guess the transformation occurred while Sis and I were at Gymnastics. You’re the only Super hero I know that stops mid-mission to give kisses. Stay at home mom. We spend...

Diabetes. Diapers. & a Daughter (with a D.A.D on the way): October 2012
http://myddays.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 26, 2012. Sure We started the morning like this. But we got those blood sugars up enough for some mid-morning shenanigans - as evidenced below. I'll take falling leaves over falling blood sugars any day. . Quartaknee or Courtney or grlygrlwunder. Stay at home mom. Thursday, October 25, 2012. Diabetes Jekyll and Hyde. If you don’t suffer from some kind of neurosis prior to a T-1 diagnosis you certainly will after. 8220;But he looks great”. 8220;He doesn’t look sick”. And they’ve nev...

Diabetes. Diapers. & a Daughter (with a D.A.D on the way): We've come far... and have many to thank.
http://myddays.blogspot.com/2014/01/weve-come-far-and-have-many-to-thank.html
Thursday, January 9, 2014. We've come far. and have many to thank. E have come so far and have so many people to thank. Saul was born Sept 28, 2010. 15 months later he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Our lives were completely changed. I had to leave my job. I had to learn how to do math… and give shots (the math was way harder than the shots). I had to learn how to operate an insulin pump, how to communicate with a non (or nearly non) verbal child. I’ve witnessed 4 seizures. And day 1 wasn’t &#...

Diabetes. Diapers. & a Daughter (with a D.A.D on the way): May 2012
http://myddays.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 29, 2012. The smell of insulin reminds me of home. A couple weeks ago I was fortunate enough to finally and I guess “officially” meet Ashley Willian. I must say, she is as awesome in person as she is in “cyber form.” I’m sure she won’t mind me mentioning this to the world – as I’ve come to somewhat rely on her for every random diabetic thought/question or concern that pops into my head. I often refer to her as my FB/texting diabetic guru guide. Thanks to diabetes I have managed to become a m...

http://myddays.blogspot.com/2013/07/i-promise-to-catch-up-one-of-these-days.html
Monday, July 22, 2013. I promise to catch up. one of these days. here's a start. I promise I will start blogging about this journey soon. It's been so crazy lately that I just haven't had time to sit and type. I do want to share a moment from last night. First off, I don't want anyone to be fooled that this transition hasn’t had its challenges. A Dog For Saul Website. Quartaknee or Courtney or grlygrlwunder. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Yeah he's rocking his sisters pink boots. His Freedom Is Here.

Diabetes. Diapers. & a Daughter (with a D.A.D on the way): February 2013
http://myddays.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 20, 2013. 8220;But I SWEAR…. I’m GREAT with KIDS! They love me… kids LOVE me.”. I had this dream the other night where I was sitting in an interview and I found myself passionately arguing the above phrase to folks who appeared to be my apparent (and what I considered to be *in a desperately hopeful/please God give me this job/It’s what I was destined to do/I need money… please… the money) future employers. Sure… I woke up and immediately started dissecting. Is it a sign? I see this (...

Diabetes. Diapers. & a Daughter (with a D.A.D on the way): November 2012
http://myddays.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 29, 2012. When I taught H.S. I kept this quote taped to my desk. When I moved to the library I carried it with me. It's more than my "favorite quote". it's kinda like my "life quote.". Quartaknee or Courtney or grlygrlwunder. Tuesday, November 27, 2012. The Hour I First Believed. It’s funny the comforts people turn to in times of tragedy and despair. Those of faith rely on prayer and religious text. I get lost in books. In between my “pretend sociological research” and R...The book ...

http://myddays.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 30, 2012. Well I’m gonna go ahead and talk about it, even though I don’t really want to talk about it. Our closest friends have witnessed it. Our pediatrician has now witnessed it…. twice. Jeff and I deal with it daily and often nightly…. and quite frankly neither one of us have gotten any better at handling it. 8220;It” usually happens only when his BG is high – above 300 which unfortunately has been quite frequent. My internal clock is set by “it”. Because ...Saturday, April 21, 2012.

Sunday, May 19, 2013. They're not always bad. Brought on the change. And it was great. And it was worth it. We – literally. The Dr. and I – Jeff was wrangling Saul during most apt’s…lol) sat and reviewed Saul’s data which they uploaded from Carelink. Sat and discussed his A1C which upon finding out was an 8.4 nearly caused me to melt down. My memory is fuzzy- but I’m pretty sure she had to scrape me off the floor and hold me up for a good minute and a half… I was prepared for a “. She also ordered blood ...
