123 Blog

So here it goes, I'm diving into a new hobby. And If I'm the only one reading this blog well... I'll have a journal of my crazy life. I hope my family doesn't mind if I share their lives with you.

check list..

Ask family if they mind sharing their most intimate and embarrassing moments with the world.

I'll check that off later....

So Yes I have a son with type 1 diabetes. And yes it's a full time job in it's self. It is frustrating, scary, and a huge pain in our derrieres. I want to be able to share with you, our day to day struggles, and meal to meal struggles. Maybe enlighten those who know nothing of this disease. You wouldn't believe how often we get asked mundane questions such as "Is it because they had to much sugar? For the record no amount of sugar can cause diabetes. Each year 15,000 children are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes *That's 40 per day.*

Ask any mother with a child that has T1D about the day the their child was diagnosed. They'll remember the day, the time, and the words that came out of the Dr.s mouths. "Michelle I'm sorry but Reese has Diabetes. You have to get him to Primary Children's immediately.. I've all ready called them, their waiting for him."

I'm Hugging my knees I begin to sob, I'm now wailing, I can't breathe, ringing in my ears. I'm sure the ache is going to kill me. Help I can't breath.... I can't breath... Then out of the darkness came my sweet son to the rescue. Taking my face into his hands he said "Don't Cry Mommy, I be fine." I was scaring him with my tears. GET IT TOGETHER! ....Some how I sucked it up and became that Mom he expected the Mom he loves. The Mom that would move a MOUNTAIN to get to him. A warrior Mom that can take on this disease and fight it with all my might.

OUR NEW LIFE BEGINS...

How can one little disease consume 99% of my thoughts???

But here's the thing I have five children. Each different and unique in their own ways. And truthfully our lives are a Comedy of Errors. My imagination is nothing to our real lives. So I'll be sharing some of our lives. Diabetes won't run this blog I'm in charge.....
