All is well

A few weeks ago my doctor had a concern that I may have diabetes. Thankfully my tests came back and I am well. I am a high risk for diabetes, because I had gestational diabetes during two of my pregnancies. I know I need to be careful and keep a close eye on my diet and my blood sugar, however that is not always easy. Well after getting past that we felt medically all is well in our family for now. Princess G has held her own for awhile and has actually recovered from two colds all on her own. That is amazing for her. It would seem that the medications she is on are working. She is so amazing about remembering her meds and takes them on her own. She has 3 meds that she has to take twice a day and one more for when she has an asthma flair up. In addition to her 3 meds she also has to do nasal washes 2 to 3 times a day depending on how she is feeling. Her medication routine takes about 10 minutes every morning and night. I have to say how proud I am of her for doing so well to remember to take her meds and keep up with it.



Well we started to think things are really under control. WRONG!!! While Sunshine and I where in Las Vegas she watched my Grandma check her blood sugar and decided that she wanted hers checked also. Grandma asked me if I minded her checking sunshine. I saw no harm in it so I said sure. When Sunshine's number came up it was 146 which is too high because she had not had anything to eat in a couple of hours. I called the pediatrician the next day to ask if I should be concerned. They said yes that they wanted to see her. So we went to Sunshine's appointment on Thursday. Our pediatrician was very concerned that 146 was too high for her. She sent us over to the lab to get some blood tests done. After a very long 24 hours we got the results back. And we are happy to report that Sunshine is well. No Diabetes. Thankfully. It was very scary though to think that we would have to be so careful and change our whole families lifestyle. Not that we eat that bad, just that there would have been some real changes. This scare has Alan and I evaluating things and we are going to cut back on a some of the sweet treats that enter our house. Sunshine is a candyaholic. She can smell candy a mile away. I want to make some changes so that hopefully Sunshine will not have to deal with Diabetes for a long time or ever would be better.

This dance expresses how we all feel now. (sorry it is side ways I didn't know how to fix it)
