Kaden has now been completely dependent on his pump for a little over a week. This dependence has not been easy as one would have hoped. It seems we have started all over again on getting his insulin to carbohydrate ratios right once again. We had pretty much had this down with the insulin shots but now because the pump can do such small dosages we are once again fighting that battle.
Kaden is doing well with all of the changes. He has his up and down days. I can't imagine the stress he is going through as we try to get everything figured out. I know it is putting a toll on his body. Last week I had to pick him up early from preschool because he was having a "hard" day. His teachers were more than willing to help him through the rest of the day but I could tell that he wasn't going to make it. I think the middle of the night checks and everything else that had happened that week caught up with him that day.
I do have some good news to report as we have been going through all of these changes. When he went into the doctor for his regular check up his hA1c was awesome! This has been a great relief to us as parents to know that as we help him manage his diabetes we are doing a good job.
Together we face a never ending battle but we will not give up! This is just another little bump in the road and we will face many more but we will not let those bumps turn into peaks!
