He has moments of utter despair and anger that break my heart, but most of the time he has handled this with incredible grace and courage. He gives himself the four injections a day - I think it is his way of having some measure of control. We are fortunate in so many ways: his teachers at school are wonderfully understanding, we have decent insurance, we don't live a hundred years ago....

Madeline has her PUMP! I love not having to give the shots! No more NO Mum’ie! Madeline loves the pump too.
Madeline’s BGL are much better with the new pump but we are having too many hypos at night. They have been trying hard to fix them but I guess it all takes time.
I need to set my alarm twice in a night 2am and 4am, as it seems if there's no low at 2am it might happen a 4am. Its makes me feel like a new mum with a baby again all these sleepless nights. I hope this get easyier.
Madeline never really had a honeymooning time, we seem to have fallen straight into it which seems to have made thing harder for us.
Madeline has started to do her own BGL a big step for 3yr old. Now she wants to do them all the time, I don’t mind at least I now what levels she is at.
How are you going? Madelines set changes have been good so far no cream no ice we thought it might be better to not have a lead up to event. Seems to work... the cream made her a little worried about whats going to happen next!
Any way I'll check in again soon.
Kirsten and family
Take care,
Thought I'd drop in and keep you up to date.
Madeline is getting an Animas Insulin Pump on the 27th Jan 09. I keep up at the health professionals and the bumped me up the list. Madeline’s BGL have been all over the place and I’m glad the started to hear me!
We will go to hospital for a week to monitor her and learn more about carb counting.
Over Christmas she had a serve Hypo went into a fit the weather was very hot the Insulin seemed to be working like double strength.... Then she was not eating enough. I call the ambulance and gave her the glucagon injection. She was all fine again in no time. Have you ever had to give the glucagon injection?
I Hope all is going well for you.
Kind Regards
Kirsten
How are you going with the pump? I hope things are settling down for you.
We went to one of the largest children’s hospital in Australia last week to do the test for Celiac. Madeline did really well and we got the results back yesterday 'she doesn’t have Celiac' which is fabulous news.
I did change her diet after the test to see if it made her feel better and it made a big difference she seems much better but her BGL are all over the place.
The dietian said she may have a reaction to the preservatives in the food and maybe to bring back one type of gluten at a time so I will slowly and see what happens.
I’m so glad she is not a Celiac!
We also saw our endo yesterday they are saying the waiting list for Madeline to get a pump is going to be after JUNE next year!
I’m not too happy with that so I’m trying to see what the list is like at other Hospitals in our area. I think Australia is a bit behind with the times.
Any way must go.
Hope all is well
Kirsten
