It has been quite a journey as Kaden has started 1st grade. He has a wonderful teacher and is in a wonderful school that is willing to help as much as they can. This has been the easy part of school. Blood sugars not so much. Kaden has been in school for about 3 weeks now and it has been nothing but a challenge to get dosages correct. Kaden has experienced more low's than I would really like to see, especially at school. We have made adjustments in his pump and still have been experiencing extreme low's. The only conclusion I have is that this disease is unpredictable and getting things figured out to make school enjoyable and worry free has been everything but that.I should be enjoying the freedom of having one child at home. I should enjoy the freedom to take long shopping trips with only a 20 month old in tow. This has not been the case since school has started. I have not been able to leave the area in fear of getting a phone call that they had to do more extreme measures and I could find my son at the hospital. NOT what I want to happen! I am just running out of ideas of what to do so it is time to call in the big dogs and call his doctor in SLC and see what she recommends. We have made the adjustments we feel comfortable doing and he is still experiencing unusually low numbers.
No parent wants to see their child suffer and it is no different with my son. He is really no different than any other child, only in the fact that his body needs a little extra help. I could be negative and wish that this would have never of happened and have the attitude of why me but I am not that type of person. I am grateful for everyday that I have my son. I think about how close I was to not having him and I do not want to ever have that feeling again. I need my little hero!!! I just wish I could be half as strong as he is!
