The Post about a Village - A Repost from Facebook (2015)
11:19 AM
From 2015:
I am so humbled & blessed to have such wonderful friends & family. I am one lucky not-single-single momma.
I feel so fortunate to have a wonderful man in my life that treats & cares for my children as if they are his very own. He got them up & helped get them going this morning (as per usual --- I'm not a morning person!!).
I'm also blessed beyond measure to have wonderful parents that step in at a moments notice to help out with these sweet littles.
There really are no words to describe my sister-wife & greatest friend ever, Shay A Bosma. She has never let me down & today she stepped into one of my most precious roles without even blinking an eye.
I have sick littles & it is Remicade day for Sophie. The X couldn't help so I had to call upon my village for help.
It was a true juggling act trying to get Emma & Nate to the doctor by 9:30 & Sophie to the hospital by 10:30.
Shay met me at the doctor's office IN PLANO & took Sophie to the hospital for her infusion (after a pit-stop at Chick-Fil-A of course). Once I was done at the doctor my mom met me & took Emma & Nate back to her house for some snuggles & TLC.
I made it to the hospital just after Sophie got her IV. It's the 1st time I wasn't with her & she did great. #LittleButFierce
Thank you to all the people that make up our village or any village. You are all appreciated far more than you will ever know. ❤

#OmniPod 6 Years and Counting
4:24 PM
March 1st 2010 - A day of hope and the date that #SuperNate started pumping with the OmniPod Insulin Pump. Six year y'all! I say this every year but where did another year go?

3/1/2010 - 20 Months |
We are still loving the OmniPod and are so excited about the future plans of the company! You can read about Insulet's artificial pancreas system that will use the innovative and differentiated OmniPod platform, the latest DexCom Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) technology and the algorithm licensed from Mode AGC. For all of the exciting information click here.
Did you read that? So exciting - right? ArtificialPancreas anything excites me big time!
Just last night during Nate's pod change (which he is still not a fan of) he said he wished we only had to change a pod once a year. That would be nice. Although we do love the OmniPod, pod change nights can often still be traumatic, sad, and overwhelming for both of us. It doesn't really hurt, I think it is just the anxiety and build up of the entire situation even though we try to keep it light and easy.
He stresses big time. Which is hard for this momma to see. I used to be able to change his pod while he was sleeping but he usually wakes up now and an is extremely agitated and angry. So, although he wants me to do it while he is sleeping I rarely do because his reaction is usually much worse than when he is actually awake.
I have found that keeping him really involved in the pod change does help. He likes to have the control so I happily follow his lead on how much he wants to participate each time.
Last night he wanted independence so after we prepared the pod together he went to his room and did the rest. It was a no muss and no fuss kind of night. Well, until he went to sleep, his blood sugar sky rocketed, I was up all night chasing highs, got a little too aggressive, then spent the wee hours of the morning changing lows. Just another day with diabetes - Right?
#NODATA --- Just like my brain today!
Super Nate then ...
