Years ago it was Sissy in softball and Daniel running around, now it's Daniel in football and Landon running around. This is my world. I'm a sports mom and I love it. My kids come first. Their choices in life come first. I gave up my Friday nights when Sissy was 8. My weekends too for that matter. It was games or practice. Training or taking care of the house since the week was so busy. In the end to watch them excel on the field is such a wonderful feeling of pride for them. They get that joy from all the hard work, dedication and discipline.
So as we get ready for his first scrimmage on Saturday he was trying on jersey sizes as they are being ordered. He decided on his own what size he wanted. Looks good to me.
Back on the field to work on plays...
He's doing great. He's not wearing his pump. He's taking his missed basal prior to practice unless he's running low then he will take it after practice. It just goes with the day and how his body is reacting with the practice. As Type 1 parents we all know we can't plan anything. I plan and carry everything for a low or a high, a site change, injections if needed, glucagon, and I've got bandages, gauze, alcohol wipes used for scrapes too.
Daniel did have his first mild concussion this week which was a huge scare for me. That was a huge welcome to football for me. But, he wanted to go back in once he felt normal again. I trusted the nurse on staff and the coaches. He was running, making catches, and back to normal even better than normal after.
Type 1 kids amaze me with their spirit of not giving up! He's an amazing soul. He teaches me never to give up. He teaches his brother so much love and adoration through patience and to keep trying.
Here's to another couple more nights of great practices and a great game vs. Pasadena this weekend! Go Upland Chargers!
