Some days I'm just so thankful to not be dealing with something like cancer instead. I can handle this and I can do the math and I can understand all of the technology and do ALL of the site changes and I can get her a snack at a moments notice. We can do this! But it doesn't change the simple fact that it is EXHAUSTING. You are so right. In the middle of the night a few months ago, I was trying to calibrate a low, and accidentally bolused. Ugh!! It was scary. I couldn't believe I made such a critical mistake.amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04912894436076427004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4313668326221993953.post-37533084794194417612011-01-24T18:25:47.429-05:002011-01-24T18:25:47.429-05:00Heather, sorry to hear about the Low and the overa...Heather, sorry to hear about the Low and the overall frustration you've been going through on your end. Even though it may not be much comfort, know that it does get easier. Your little one will learn to navigate the Highs and Lows. Of course, at times, just as we all do, Lovebug will also feel the same frustration over BGs levels, pump sites, CGM sensors, and more. It is what it is. But because of your guidance, your CWD will grow up to be a smart independent strong and capable Adult Person With Diabetes. Maybe that can be some small level of comfort.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4313668326221993953.post-82625756390021733962011-01-21T09:46:48.243-05:002011-01-21T09:46:48.243-05:00I'm with Misty - I totally 'get it'. ...I'm with Misty - I totally 'get it'.

You are in my prayers today as I pray for our strength has a family as well. I understand your struggles, I understand your worries.

You will also learn to sleep when you can and schedule time to catch up on sleep. One suggestion.... Hubby can make dinner, you go to bec early, hubby gets BS checks up till midnight and you set the alarm for 2 am. Hard to sleep at this time of night but at some point your body will be so tired you will be able to. Steal little moments. Let the house go, make simple, easy dinners; preserving your energy is important because you need to remain healthy. Hope you can figure out time periods so you can catch some ZZZZZs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4313668326221993953.post-33554213088330303282011-01-18T12:37:54.329-05:002011-01-18T12:37:54.329-05:00Isn't it amazing how God gives us the strength...Isn't it amazing how God gives us the strength we need to take each step and makes us trust Him for the strength to take the next?

Imagining him having to do all this 15 years from now.<br /><br />But like you said we will move on and do what we must. Remember when shit gets rough you have all of us to lean on. And usually we are all up at the same time.
