Hopefully the school year will go well. Her teacher seems more than capable and willing to work with us on proper diabetes care. The principal seems wonderful. Everyone is eager to learn and be helpful, more so than I think is necessary in some cases. The librarian was concerned about how to work her pump! THAT shouldnt be needed. But I admire her concern.
B is doing great acclimating to it. She wore it for 3 days this week, all while still having to get her shots because the pump only had saline in it. I tried to change the site yesterday and screwed up so we decided to leave it off until she starts on the insulin.
So pump is lined up, school supplies have been bought, school clothes are waiting to be washed and hung up. She showered and washed her won hair for the first time tonight ( although there was s good bit of yelling involved on both of our parts. She is finishing up swimming lessons, ( God, bless that woman for not drowning her, She has fought every step of the way).
Looking forward to getting settled in and having a routine again. These past 6 months have been fly by the seat of your pants and then crash ( to sleep). I'm hoping school will work out well, and I can get Trace on a bit of a routine. We started much earlier with Bella but things have just been chaotic around here. Maybe the poor boy can get a decent nap!
I'm hoping that within a couple of weeks I can get geared up and start working on my little business idea. I started making T shirts with pockets to hold Bellas pump, and a few friends suggested I sell them. They are over $30 online but I can make them at a fraction of the cost. I have already started trying to get the word out on FB and fine tuning some ideas. So please, if you havent already checked it out, go here, and see what all my yammering is about!
