Hey Kellee!
How are you? I hope you had good holidays! Mine were pretty good as well. I got to be with a lot of family that I haven't seen in a while. It was really nice. Plus I ate so much I thought I was going to explode!!! Hows Mary doing today? I hope she is doing alright & I hope she enjoyed her holidays! Did Santa come? :] Give me an update of how everything is going!<3 Kristen

- Wow... I can't believe you are doing all of that while trying to manage your children's health. You are one amazing woman!! They told me I had thyroid issues about a year and a half ago, but I guess I don't anymore. Kinda weird. I hope Mary will be okay. She's got me worrying over here!! She's too young to be dealing with some of the same things I am. Is she dealing with these issues well?
I'm doing alright. I am unfortunately in a lot of pain, but what can I do? I'm trying to manage it all in my head and I'm getting close to my breaking point. I just got an apartment with my boyfriend yesterday so along with that come a little stress. I hope everything works out.

Mary's A1C report was great this time!
Posted on December 8, 2011 at 10:53am 2 Comments 1 Like
Today Mary had her Endo appt. 3 months ago her A1C was 8.9. Today she was 7.4!! I'm really happy. I attribute a lot of it to switching from Omnipod to Mimimed, but to be fair, she did have some serious lows too. The Doctor made a few small changes to her basals and IC ratio. Other than that she is doing great!!!
