Yo...I commend you for taking care of your daughter. You are strong and your daughter is strong or you would have not made it this far. I have a daughter who has life threating food allergies and although things and our circumstances are different, we are still fighting for our children's lives. Yes certain things suck! and I understand the control part of, for us there are more outside influences that I can not control that can possibly kill my daughter with in minutes... BUT!!! My daughter is still alive and with all her strong will! we will continue to fight and I believe this is just her "thorn in her flesh" and God will use it, HE promises too! even if we never see how I trust God that He has everything under control.. So keep on Momma!!! God is there.

but no...before reading this i felt tired and alone.<br />but now i just feel tired.<br />i want to thankyou for writing the words that i dont have the energy to think.<br />i too find it hard getting up night after night every 2 or 3 hours to stick pins in my precious little girl. <br />at first i thought that it was the tiredness that was the worst but i have since realised that i would have no problem at all setting my alarm every 2 hours to give my daughter a kiss and tell her i love her. its the fact that i have to get that tiny drop of blood several times every night that makes my heart ache.<br />my little girl is allergic to the emla cream and tegaderm that i put on her before changing her pump, and it makes her itch quite badly. so every third night i'm the pump change fairy too. i put on the magic cream while she sleeps and then an hour later resite the cannula. its been 9 months of this now and i am finding it harder and harder to see that famous light at the end of the tunnel. <br />amy has low blood sugars and frequent hypos at night although she is only on 0.025 units of insulin per hour overnight. i am like the hypo police.<br />i'm starting to think i have too many jobs at night, the phlebotamist, the pump change fairy and hypo police. <br />my husband wonders why there is a lack of clean socks, i tell him that i had to give up my job in the laundry to keep up with my night shifts!!!<br /><br />its great moaning and not being able to see if anyone is rolling there eyes at me!<br /><br />love mairi xxMairihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16949169453732019989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132520669435097266.post-78677209280500002532010-04-24T20:51:57.430-04:002010-04-24T20:51:57.430-04:00This sounds a lot like my nights :( I have a very...This sounds a lot like my nights :( I have a very hard time sleeping because I am always worried about my little girls. Sometimes I feel like the nights are harder then the days because that's when my mind goes into overdrive, worrying about every number, snack, correction and so on...<br /><br />Seeing the blood on our clothes, fingers, or bedding is just another reminder of how difficult and painful type 1 diabetes is.conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18365385305270234889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132520669435097266.post-81824197524805208592010-04-23T23:03:17.063-04:002010-04-23T23:03:17.063-04:00I always have blood somewhere on my body or my clo...I always have blood somewhere on my body or my clothes.

Must be a paper cut." Because if you said, "OH, it's just my son's blood." You would be a freak. :(Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752883120541646427noreply@blogger.com
