Just Breathe...

We are doing it! We got all the supplies organized and stored away. Got Jacob totally settled at school with plenty of snacks and supplies. We have a teacher meeting today to have Jacob show how his meter works and answer any questions they may have. And Jacob is managing his care with supervision better than we had hoped. He tests his own sugars when we tell him to. He records it in the log so we can monitor that. He draws his own insulin, we check it, then he injects himself. It's really manageable. I'm sure he will grow tired of this schedule and it will become a fight, at least that is what everyone tells us. But for now we are enjoying how well he is adjusting.

I am required to call his Endocrinologist, Diabetes Doctor, every day at 2pm to give his blood sugar levels. They are monitoring and adjusting doses as we go. This will occur for a while and whenever he had a growth spurt and hits puberty, there will be adjustments.

It seems like a lot, but I am handling it pretty well. Fixing lunch today was a little more hectic because I had to total his Carbs and record it in his lunch so the nurse is sure he gets the correct amount of insulin. But I think I am working a good system and feel good about it.

Joe and I are both still pretty tired. But are recovering.

Thanks again for all the prayers, we definitely need them.
