Diabetes update.

Many you know my oldest boy has type 1 diabetes and that last fall he started on the insulin pump and I posted about it here.  Well today we went back up to Portland to OHSU for his checkup.  The last few months have been a whirlwind.  Our very first time we changed his pump site at home it failed on us and he had ketones (which is bad), we had a long night and spent most of it on the phone with a doctor in Portland.
After that initial scar things have gone pretty good.  Conor is really athletic and plays just about every sport so it's given him more freedom and stable blood sugar levels.   His appointment today went great his A1C ( which is a test the test the average blood sugar levels for the past three months) was very good, in fact the lowest he's ever had a 6.9!   So overall switching to the pump was a good move and has made our lives a little easier (other than the record keeping).  Here are a few pictures from today.  We also took a quick trip across the border to take some pictures for our friends in Florida ( who sent us their flat doll).  We stopped at Fort Vancouver which was very beautiful, I hope to bring the family back soon!

We ended the night with Parker's district Choir concert.  He made a very handsome choir boy even if he didn't smile at all or clap his hands when he was suppose to.
