Just remember you have to take into consideration the illness he's had as well. We all know you're not a "bad" mom and you do all you can do to make sure you keep as much control on this D-Monster as you can. Also remember...we're not here to judge you...we're here to give you the support and love you need as a Mom struggling!<BR/><BR/>Update us as you can!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16355188326211750959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-48387168687789359142009-01-23T00:28:00.000-05:002009-01-23T00:28:00.000-05:00This post was comforting to me, becuase now I know...This post was comforting to me, becuase now I know I am not alone in seeing more than "just numbers" .....like you said, it isn't just a number. It is a feeling our kids feel, their health, a "capability" number. Are we really capable to be our childs pancreas 24/7? I don't think so. BUT, I do know we give it our all every single day. This is what makes us great moms Penny. ((HUGS)) <BR/><BR/>Maddison sees her Endo tomorrow too, I will be thinking of you and Riley going through the exact same thing, at the exact same time as us. The mom stress of the A1c!!!!I will be out there too knowing exactly how you are feeling!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17009502794324247532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-68220299805053407022009-01-22T21:47:00.000-05:002009-01-22T21:47:00.000-05:00I'll be praying for your nerves tomorrow for the c...I'll be praying for your nerves tomorrow for the checkup!!

The more I "do" this (2+ years now) the more I get that. I'm grateful for moms like you who put into words what I am feeling and going through, but don't have the energy to say. <BR/><BR/>Sam was over 400 before P.E. yesterday and the school nurse called me (per plan) and seemed upset that I was not upset. "Just give him water and send him off to run around in gym." What? I'm a bad mom because I don't get hysterical?<BR/><BR/>Hang in there. You're doing all you can, and it DOES make a difference!Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665665401551658932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-55633369061263127462009-01-22T20:13:00.000-05:002009-01-22T20:13:00.000-05:00WOW....3 hours one way, right?
