Being Prepared cont.

I have done some reading on what it is that I should have in my emergency kit. In watching the news coverage on Christchurch yesterday, I really started to get nervous. As of 9pm last night they had over 100 aftershocks and some of them have been pretty big. What concerned me was what was [...]

Are the Porter’s prepared-Really?

When I woke up on Saturday I had all kinds of messages waiting for me in my inbox and on twitter and facebook. First let me say that my friends and the D OC are amasing for checking in on us to make sure we were ok. To be honest, as I rubbed my eyes [...]

504 Plan on Steriods

I was going to say on Insulin, but that would be corny..right? I was reading Beta Buddies today and this Mom has come up with an amazing plan. I have no idea why some of us other Mom’s haven’t come up with it. She started to think about what would happen if the school was [...]

Can you JUST try it???

“But I don’t want to…it’s ugly!” This is how the conversation started with Marty on using an organiser for all of his stuff.

Eeeeeeew mixed with Ooooooweeee

A couple days back Kelsey had a few bumps pop up on her fingers. No big deal, she has had them a couple times before and they go away within a few days. The next day she had quite a few more and her elbows were “growing”. This morning…uhm…well…look for yourself. So right after I muttered [...]

Day 5 of CGM Booty

As you can imagine, Kelsey’s wearing the CGM has been a real eye opener. But not in the way you would think..or maybe it’s not in the way I expected it to be. The weekend is a time when Kelsey gets to go off and do her thing..whatever that “thing” may be. So Friday she [...]

Day 1 of CGM Booty

At 2:30 yesterday Kelsey was finally outfitted with the CGM. It was a little confusing at first, but once we got it into our hot little hands the unit itself is really easy to maneuver through. After we went through the lesson, it was time to put the sensor into Kelsey. We had assumed it [...]
