Some of you have kids who have already started back to school. Some of your kids will be headed there in the next couple of weeks.

If you haven’t heard of PokemonGo by now, perhaps you have been out of the country these past few weeks. This is an ingenious game by Nintendo combining an all-time fave of many, Pokemon, with exercise, socializing, and even family time! It’s brilliant! When the weather isn’t too hot, the three of us are out… Continue reading PokemonGO.
The end of July is always a busy time for us. It marks the end of summer. One day after the calendar flips to August, I’m off to school and Luke follows two days later. So that means we have to make all of the appropriate preparations… Stopping at Target a few times to pick up school supplies-… Continue reading It’s 504 time…
Before June 13, 2015, at dinner time we would fill our plates or grab a snack and start eating. Now, it takes a little more effort before we can eat. As you all probably know by now, we don’t limit Luke when it comes to carbs. He eats anything he ate before diagnosis. He eats anything that… Continue reading Step by step, it’s eatin’ time.

To stop these senseless deaths from undiagnosed Type 1 Diabetes. It happened again. Last week a local young college student got very sick. He started vomiting and… Continue reading It happened again.

That’s a lot of events for his first time! The text below gives you a good idea at Luke’s feelings… Continue reading Just keep swimming.
Luke left for his annual summer trek to Grandma and Grandpa’s house on Wednesday for a little one-on-one time together. Just like any time Luke is away overnight, I’m grateful for the Dexcom. Luke’s at the age where I’m probably annoying him with my check-ins and texts, but I never know if he’s paying attention to… Continue reading Going to grandma’s house.
