...Been doing quite a bit of studying the last few days on Diabetes and pump management. I have a good feeling; beginning be more optimistic & confident that our transition to pumping will be ok.....I realize that the transition can be somewhat stressful...but, how can that be different than any other day in our D-Life??? Just different stress....and it too will pass, we will learn all the little tricks of pumping & hopefully, Syd's numbers will be more consistent....it may just take us a bit to get there. I can deal with that, and I am sure that Syd can deal with less pokes & better numbers :o)
Tonight I worked on planning a "fun" day for Sydney on Saturday....We are going to go to Kaleidescope in Kansas City & then plan on eating lunch at Crayola Cafe....should be a good time :o) We have to be at Children's Mercy at 1:30pm for our pump start.....gonna be a busy day, but gonna try and fit as many smiles as possible into it...
Sydney is pretty excited about starting her pump & not having to do 4 shots a day...her favorite part seems to be...NOT having to do the "butt" shot...lol. She is a little concerned that the pump will "hurt"....I wish that I could take ALL of her worries & "hurts" away. Her little mind shouldn't have to worry, her little body shouldn't have to have so many little hurts......She should be able to be a kid, and not have to have soooo MANY responsibilities.
She makes me sooo proud everyday :o)
Awww. It is a big transition. *hugs* Brandan got AT LEAST 6 shots a day. Day 2 with insulin in his pump I sat down next to him and pushed the buttons on the meter/remote to deliver the bolus. He hugged me and said thank you!
