To get things started

I found this quote the other day and thought I would share.

Sometime you have to forget how you feel; and remember what you deserve.

Too long....

It has been way too long since I have been blogging. I have been a silent blogger stalker looking at everybody elses blogs but not updating my own. I will get back in the "blog" of things here soon (hopefully within the next week) SO much to tell.

See you soon!

Family...

You help them as much as you can and not even a thank you!

I am going crazy!!

I WANT MY HOUSE BACK!!

Dear Mother nature,

I am glad to see that you are FINALLY reading my blog. It seems that we are still a little slow at providing the cooler weather, but in a few days I think you will have finally come through. It is time for the 80-90 temps to go away for a long time. Thank you for listening.

A very happy person (at least when Wednesday gets here),

My check list...

Get Dr to write prescription for pump for Christian....check
Get insurance to approve pump....check
Get call from Diabetes Speciality Center saying pump is in....check
Go to Salt Lake and get pump....check
Go back to Salt Lake for pump class....check
12am, 3am, 6am blood sugar checks to make sure pump is working ok....a very tired check
Having pump for a week....check (close enough)

After 4 years of shots, shots and more shots we have FINALLY gotten a pump. I have mixed emotions about it. I am so used to doing shots and figuring everything out (the pump does most of this now), it has been a big change for me. I have heard good and bad things can happen when you use a pump. We found out Tuesday when we went to Salt Lake for the pump class, that he would stat using his pump then. He will get a continuous drip of insulin in his body (this is to mimic the pancreas) so when things go wrong with his pump, his blood sugar will shoot up really high in a short amount of time. This is because he doesn't have Lantus in his body anymore.

While I am happy that he finally got a pump, I am hoping things will be good and we wont run into too many problems.

I will keep you all updated :)

Some good news...

Things have not been going too good around our house for a little while. But FINALLY things are starting to turn around. Now I just hope they stay that way for a while :) As you know, Kens hours got cut and he was part time. He made some phone calls and he is able to keep his full 8 hours by way of working at 2 schools. WOOHOO!

Then today as I was taking Jentri to school, I got a call and the insurance authorized for Christian to be able to get a pump!! We have been working on getting him one since June. We were denied the first time but after all the records and the phone calls to the doctor and the doctor calling the insurance company, things went through WOOHOO (again!)

I am so glad a few things are turning around in our favor...now if we can just keep it up for a little bit longer.
