Getting Ready for Appointment

Rockstar has doctor's appointments every three months, and today it is time to go back. He is excited to go and learn way to improve his choices on his health and brush up on procedures he already knows about. But, wow... it has been three months since his diagnosis and really each day it gets easier in the sense of feeling confident in my care for him. Yea, it still greatly stinks that he is insulin dependent but he has been a real trooper from the get go.

Here is to a great dr appointment!

This is sure to make you the coolest mom in your house.

That's for sure!

Smile Today

Today I am surrounded by things that just bring a smile to my face. It is as simple as the duck in my apartment complex that visits me every morning for breakfast. The same duck who has laid ten eggs under my front door and is now sitting there waiting for her babies to hatch.

Meet Marguerite.

Then there is SuperBabe who loves to draw, create stories and just express himself through paper. I found him engulfed in his notebook. Quiet household with my son on the couch, absolute bliss. 

Hope you find things today that bring a smile to your face as well. :)

Awesome

I saw this today on a fellow T1 parents facebook page. I immediately feel in love with it and will recreate one for my home as well. Great message for everyone!

First Appointment Can Now Be Checked OFF

Rockstar had his first doctor's appointment yesterday to follow up and continue being seen every three months. It went great and all but holy cow the appointment was at 10:30 and we did not go to the back until 11:50 and we did not see the DR himself until 12:50. All in all we were there from 10:15 until 1:30. Most of it was just sitting and waiting.

All his levels were great and we reviewed his log that hold his blood sugar readings. They decided to have him take 1 to 15 grams ratio of insulin for lunch and the two other meals he will be on the 1 to 10 gram ratio. I asked particular questions about his diet, counting carbs and specific tweaks we have done at home and looking to get approval from the nurse and Dr, which we did.

Yay for a good appointment.

Knocking Down the Pins

With all we do during the week we decided to change things up for the long holiday weekend. No better way to enjoy your childhood that to be surprised with ice cream at Braums. Though once we arrived they both acted FAMISHED so they got food as well.

 Check out all the missing teeth!!

... and this ham!

That night we headed to the local bowling alley and bowl our hearts content. Everyday our new normal gets easier and easier. You can even see Rockstar's green camo insulin bag on the table.

The boys had a blast along with two special friends of theirs. They were cheering each other on and gave everyone words of encouragement after each turn. It was extremely cute. With all the boys there I had to take a picture with the only other girl in the group. We often are surrounded by boys and decided it was time to take a picture of us both.

Always great to get away from the normal hustle and bustle and enjoy life.

Much love and laughter,
