Diary entry 4/16/15

What a day! Daniel ran out of insulin in his pump today. That's not suppose to happen. He's suppose to have a site change tomorrow, but somehow was able to have insulin within two hours. I'll have to call the pump rep tomorrow to find out how his pump is allowing him to get insulin when he is not suppose to have any within two hours. We must have missed that during set up. He took advantage of that and ate way too many carbs today during school and after school. We did his site change and refilled his insulin, but now he has a painful stomach ache and feels like he needs to throw up. So I'm up with him helping him the only way I can with comfort until his body digests all the carbs for the day. His blood sugar is not bad at 9pm bg199 and I'm waiting for his midnight check before I try to fall asleep. 

This is one of the toughest parts of being a type 1 diabetic, you have a day when you feel great and you think I can eat and just have insulin. Well, you realize later it doesn't work that way. Unfortunately, it's a tough and painful lesson to learn. But, I will always support my son every step of the way even when he has a day when he just wants to be a normal kid and eat a little too much. I understand. It's unfair. His little brother eats cheeze its and a sandwich without repercussions, why can't he? It makes me sad at times. So at this moment I lay here with Daniel holding him in my arms comforting him as he sleeps so he can feel better. I really hate diabetes! He even says his new pump site hurts tonight. Let's hope it doesn't keep bothering him. The pump would be great, but if it's not for Daniel, I understand. 

Daniel doesn't have a cool picture to post he says today. He isn't feeling well. But, he loves all his different bracelets he has made everytime we go to Knotts Berry Farms. It's an easy way to allow him to be as fun as he wants with any choice of colors and designs as long as he has something saying T1D on him at all times. It's working so we will continue to get them. A picky tween boy is difficult. He has to have his hair cut only by a certain lady now, I have to buy certain hair products, and my goodness he's got more shoes than me. I just adore this kid! He's worth it. 

Today we checked on our daughters wedding location and it's ready to go for Saturday. It looks stunning. We are happy. Just a few final touches. But, it's complete. She's happy and that's all that matters. I can't wait to see her marry her Mr. Perfect! 

 

The flowers look great. I'm happy with the arraignments. And the altar looks perfect. The draping and the flowers around the top was a perfect choice. The runner reminds me of our wedding fabric. Black damask... Brings back such amazing memories. 

We are ready for the big day. Just a few final things to finish up tomorrow. My oldest daughter arrives. Yay! I'm excited! I've missed her so much. Full house and a crazy Saturday morning filled with girls on Saturday before the wedding. 

Time for my midnight BG check. Busy night for this Mama. Here's to a another long night. Praying my baby has a stable night with some rest. Lord knows he needs it.
