Mistletoe

It is finally here! After being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes last December, Georgia had to learn how to test and monitor her Blood Glucose levels and give herself shots of insulin. Then she had to learn how to Carbohydrate Count. All of this was leading up to getting the insulin pump which acts as her pancreas, delivering insulin in a steady dose throughout the day and night. Her doctor finally said she had learned all she needed to and approved the pump. She has now mastered the pump and all of its workings as well. She is quite an amazing girl,and has taken on so much responsibility since her diagnosis last year. We are very proud of her. She decided to give it a name, and since it is green (she got to pick from several colors) and it came to us in December, she named it Mistletoe. I admit it was difficult to accept that a machine would be attached to my child. But it really is helping. I am grateful for good insurance and amazing technology! Till the next post, Love, Jodi

December

Here are some pictures of what we have been up to this month. We made cookies with my Mom (it would not be Christmas without them!)and Georgia made a nativity scene with her American girl dolls, how cute is that? We always decorate a gingerbread house, but this year the beagle ate part of it. We left her on her own for 5 minutes and the next thing you know, the gingerbread house is missing it's roof! Things like this make for great memories though...Share your holiday memories with me, I would LOVE to hear about them! Till next time, Jodi
