A Shot in the Dark: Shooting Down

http://artistmom2two.blogspot.com/2005/12/shooting-down.html

A Shot in the Dark. Monday, December 05, 2005. Late yesterday afternoon, just before sunset, Joseph and I went sledding alone together for the first time in years. We drove to the largest sled hill in our neighborhood- a massive, two-tiered bowl behind the local middle school. I'd never been there before- when he's gone to this site in the past, Ryan was usually the one to accompany him. Yeah, I'm a bit of a chicken when it comes to sledding. Deep breath. "Okay, let's give it a go". Oh, and Mom? Boy, loo...

A Shot in the Dark: Growing Pain

http://artistmom2two.blogspot.com/2009/12/growing-pain.html

A Shot in the Dark. Tuesday, December 01, 2009. Over the last four years I've received messages from readers telling me how we're doing a "beautiful job" helping Joseph manage his diabetes and that I'm an "amazing" mom. Well at the beginning of last month, I felt about as far from amazing as any mom could get — and even now, I'm still a little shaky. You see, Joseph was sneaking food, treats mostly — but worse, he wasn't bolusing for them. But the not bolusing, well that just froze me in my tracks. I got...

A Shot in the Dark: World Diabetes Day and the Big Blue Test 2011

http://artistmom2two.blogspot.com/2011/11/world-diabetes-day-and-big-blue-test.html

A Shot in the Dark. Monday, November 14, 2011. World Diabetes Day and the Big Blue Test 2011. Okay, so when I reminded the kids this weekend that Monday was World Diabetes Day, they totally wanted to do something in honor of the day. Pretty cool, yes? So of course we opted to do the Big Blue Test. Because each and every time any one of us does the Big Blue Test and submits our results, we help raise $75,000 for organizations out there helping people with diabetes. C'mon folks. It's easy. Miss you, too!

A Shot in the Dark: World Diabetes Day 2009

http://artistmom2two.blogspot.com/2009/11/world-diabetes-day-2009.html

A Shot in the Dark. Saturday, November 14, 2009. World Diabetes Day 2009. People are gathering, talking, celebrating. I'd like to add my son's voice to the chorus as he shares some of his thoughts about managing Type 1 diabetes. And how he educates/involves his friends. We had a lot of fun doing this. our own mini WDD celebration.). Note: The blog stays blue until the end of the month in honor of Diabetes Awareness Month, returning to the usual orange-red hue on December 1st. :-). Posted by Sandra Miller.

A Shot in the Dark: A Little More History

http://artistmom2two.blogspot.com/2005/05/little-more-history.html

A Shot in the Dark. Tuesday, May 10, 2005. A Little More History. From Pumplandia, wondered "if some kids have greater resilience than some adults in their ability to adjust to a life-changing illness." saying that she imagines "this depends very much on the individual." She got me thinking back to the hours and days after that awful diagnosis moment. And in thinking back, I believe there is a great deal of truth to Violet's statement. On Friday, Joseph listened patiently to the Dietician as she explaine...

A Shot in the Dark: Sweet Home Chicago

http://artistmom2two.blogspot.com/2005/05/sweet-home-chicago.html

A Shot in the Dark. Tuesday, May 31, 2005. Man, do I miss Chicago. We just spent three days there with the kids, and do you know what we did? As always, Mike’s wife Joni, was a calm and gracious host. She has an almost Zen-like attitude toward life– an attitude that I’m always hoping will rub off a little while I'm there. And now, she’s this beautiful young woman. Anyhow, after we got back last night, I got to thinking again about Kerri’s top fives. 2 Pops for Champagne. Has it really been that long?

A Shot in the Dark: When you think it can't happen to him

http://artistmom2two.blogspot.com/2010/07/when-you-think-it-cant-happen-to-him.html

A Shot in the Dark. Monday, July 26, 2010. When you think it can't happen to him. I need to remember to put the phone by Joseph so I can wake him up to do a check after I'm gone. That's my first thought on waking at 6:15 am last Tuesday morning.). I have to be downtown at 8am, the same time Ryan has to be at work - and Joseph is going to watch Evan for us. Wait- that can't be right. Whipping open his logbook, I see that he was high all night - and that he and Ryan did a set change at 2am when he was 398.

A Shot in the Dark: Another Day

http://artistmom2two.blogspot.com/2006/11/another-day.html

A Shot in the Dark. Thursday, November 09, 2006. He's 321, and cranky. I can't really blame him. He's been high all night. But thank goodness, no ketones. And at least he's not low. He's had a lot of low blood sugars lately- and some have been scary. I twist off his insulin pump cap, pull out a half full cartridge of insulin, then press "Rewind.". Immediately we hear a whirring sound as the pump's threaded piston rod slowly spins down. We're all very quiet this morning. Any air bubbles, Mommy? Joseph put...

A Shot in the Dark: World Diabetes Day 2010

http://artistmom2two.blogspot.com/2010/11/world-diabetes-day-2010.html

A Shot in the Dark. Sunday, November 14, 2010. World Diabetes Day 2010. In what has become a tradition on the blog, I'm letting Joseph's voice speak for the both of us today:. Blows my mind to look at this video, and the one from last year. And the year before. I am so dang proud of him.). Once again, the blog is blue until the end of the month in honor of Diabetes Awareness Month. Posted by Sandra Miller. November 14, 2010 11:38 AM. Have a great WDD. November 14, 2010 11:54 AM.
