Daniel's week

What a week! 

Blood sugars are the usual, but more lows this week so we have new ratios that we hope will help. No pump this week. We were expecting it Thursday, but got our usual monthly arrival. Pharmacy says we are waiting on the final supplemental insurance company to approve the portion they are picking up and hopefully we will know that answer by Monday, which is tomorrow. Still a waiting game. 

We have changed meters to the Accu-chek Nano. We finally ran out of our Aviva strips we had. I couldn't find it in myself to throw away perfectly good medical supplies that are so expensive and hard to come by when money is tough. So we used every box up until now. Daniel is so excited to be using something new. Funny thing is I don't know how to change the time or date so it's all off. My recording has to be done at the exact moment we check his blood sugars or I'll have no idea when it was. I'll need to figure that out very soon. I'm not tech savvy. I'll read the instructions in the morning with my coffee before the boys wake up to figure that one out. 

Overall, it's been a low blood sugar weekend. I can't complain. We got some rest. I didn't have a Lantus change so I got a 2am break that was much needed. I thank our Endo office greatly for the break! This mommy needed some sleep. 

We did have an awesome Friday! Daniel earned all A's and B's again with a 3.42 and made Honor Roll. His first Gate newspaper article made the front page of the school paper and he made student of the month last month. I'm a lucky Mom! Daniel is one awesome little boy. I am beyond words to express how I feel to be blessed to be his mother. He's so smart. He's just a great kid. Such a brave little human being. Endures so much on a daily basis and complains about the normal childhood things like chores and playing outside, but honestly he's the easiest kid. He's mature and can grasp a concept well beyond his years. Algebra is a breeze right now. We work on it a couple times, and he breezes through the assignment. He amazes me. 

This post is for Daniel! Congratulations son on your accomplishments in school! You make me proud! You don't let diabetes slow you down. You make up all your missing assignments everyday without any problems, you don't complain about it, you earn A's for them, read at 9th grade level, you are just amazing! And I'm lucky to be your mom!
