So, with the encouragement of a dear friend who used to work for JDRF and the feeling of needing to DO something about diabetes (beyond learning to manage it for our child), our family will be walking a 5K around Dodger Stadium to raise funds for type 1 diabetes. I sent out the first email last night requesting donations and I cannot believe the outpouring of support. Our friends/family/acquaintances are just amazing. A few will even be joining us. The link to that is here: http://walk.jdrf.org/walker.cfm?id=87894877
The last few days of her management have been good. This is our third day of no highs or lows- and that's a first! Her body is constantly fluctuating so we are always adjusting her insulin dosages but we've had a good run. (crossing fingers....)
On July 27, 2010, we found out that our 3.5 year old daughter has Type 1 Diabetes. When we started meeting other parents of children with diabetes, they all said that it gets easier... It does; it becomes the new normal. But it has yet to be "easy" but no one said it would be "easy", just "easier".
