Sleep deprived

For the pass week Samantha has been running very high BG numbers, then she stated showing trace ketones so the Dr didnt want to change her insulin amount junt in case she was getting an illness... well after a week with ketones and no other sings of sickness at last the ketones stopped YAY!!! I thought cool her numbers should start going down too...nope. So yesterday off to the Drs had a complete check up uren and blood taken to see if there was any signs of infection, nothing everything checked out great..so I had to call up the Endo ( her diabetes Dr) and let them know there is no infection so it was time to rise the insulin...well LOTS of changes which means more testing just to make sure she doesnt have a hypo ( low blood sugar) So last night we had the 1 am, 3 am, and 5am check but lucky me had a baby who thought 4am was the perfect time to wake up crying :O( he is cutting some teeth and has been a bit crabby)
I feel like crawling back into bed but I have 2 little ones home and my niece is stopping by after her O.B visit she is due this Friday

Snow

Ok January is almost at an end but the snow isn't!!!! So far this year we have had more snow then we did ALL of last year. You cant even see over the snow mountains at the end of our drive way. The kids are loving it...just not me. Their new favorite thing to do is go outside on the trampoline when its full of snow. Kids are crazy if you ask me...lol

This pass week has been the first weeks in months I haven't had much of anything to do other then to take Jorden to the Dr for his one year old check up and shots...my little guy is now a whopping 25 pounds and is 2' 2" I just cant believe how fast that year went. I guess its time to update a few pics isn't it :O)

So this post I'm going to be lazy and post mainly pictures instead of blogging

Looking he is walking just 1 month shy of his first birthday

Look who's turning ONE

yum cake...LOL

hey he only made a little mess...LOL

CGMS

I'm not sure how I feel right now I have been fighting with my insurance company now since July to get the CGMS ( Continuous Glucose Monitoring System) for Samantha..She is my one with Type 1 diabetes, well this CGMS goes along with her pump she will have two different sites one that deliverers her insulin and the other which is for the CGMS that will read her blood sugar every 20 seconds...it sounds like a great thing doesnt it we should know her highs and lows before she does, be able to head off lows which scare the heck out of me..so anyways after fighting with the insurance company I gave up for awhile till lately when I noticed that Samantha has been getting more and more out of range with her numbers and now is having lows without feeling them..last week she hit a 47 and didnt know it, now thats scary!!!! This is what made me start thinking I need to pick up where I left off at. I was ready for a fight, I have charts, lots of info and studies on how well these things work... so today I call Minimed the company I have to order it from and the same company we got her pump from, I tell the rep what I want she tells me she will see IF my insurance will pay for it or not ( just for the set it its 1000 and thats not the sensors every month thats another 350) I thought I would hear from her in a week or so but I got a call back a few hours later and she told me that there should be no problem as long as my Dr writes out a script..thats not a problem the Dr likes the CGMS so now it looks like Samantha will be getting this new device..but now I wonder do I really want to have to have this poor child with another thing poking into he? Learning how to work this thing, having to check and recheck numbers all the time till you get the hang of it...I hear its really a pain in the behind to get the hang of it all BUT on the other hand it will supply us with sooooo much info and should head off lows and highs..I think its just me worrying about the unknown I was like this when she got the pump and now I LOVE that thing I cant image going back to daily shots again..
Well thats my new worry..lol
