We had our appointment on friday and after three hours of education Conor got hooked up to the Diabetic pump. Of course it was only Saline for this weekend, their testing us to see how well we do. We go back tomorrow and he will recieve insulin through the pump from then on. We have a rough month ahead of us. We have a new routine to adjust to and we have multiple blood sugar checks throughout the night 12, 3, and 6 am every day for a month.
Conor giving his insulin shot in his leg, he won't be doing this anymore!!
Dad wore the pump also all weekend to see what it's like

complete with a camo cover!
YEA!! So funny that Dad's is pink and purple and Connor's is camo! Just know that things will get better once they get things regulated on the pump. It is rough at first but SO worth it.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Wow...that's a lot of work! I'm sure it will make your lives much easier when he gets the hang of it! So glad we have all this new technology. Hope everyone is doing well...and say hi to everyone, including your mom, from us! We miss you guys.
