Thankful For Another Day

 

Being parents of a Type 1 Diabetic means stressing non-stop every day, calculating carbs, insulin & activities, being sleep deprived from middle of the night monitoring, and worrying that we made the wrong decisions.

There is zero joy and little room for error. 

If we give too much insulin, our child may die.

If we give too little insulin, our child may die. 

We become more than parents; we take on the roles of nurses, nutritionists, and advocates.  

We do this with the goal that our child live a full life. 

Although it is our toughest challenge yet, we thank God every day for giving us another day with our son.
