I just realized that I updated when we were in icu but haven't done anything recently. Tommy was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes on Thursday 10-10. We were sent to Peds ICU to lower his sugars. He was released on Friday 10-11 and we were sent down to Park Nicollet to meet with a pediatric endocrinologist. For the last week there has been a flurry of doctors appointments, dietician appointments, and adjustments. Tommy is now getting 4 shots a day in addition to blood glucose checks at least 4 times a day with finger pricks and as needed if he feels low or weird. We are slowly returning to normal...although he is very scared to be away from mom or dad so that is a slow process. He really is doing amazing though...its a lot for a little kid. Hell, its a lot for me and John. I'm having a hard time because I can't take this away and can't make it better like Mommy's are supposed to. My brain knows I'm doing everything I can, but my heart is having a hard time. For now though, things are going well and he is amazing us again with his braveness and courage.
