Guest guest Posted November 9, 2002 Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 Hi, Well, first I just want to thank so many of you that responded to my stressful post about amanda and her diabetes struggles. This group is awesome!!! Anyway, Monday, we have an appointment with the endo nurse practioner and hopefully he will answer most of my concerns. They are also going to do a glucose monitoring long term thingie. (Monitor her blood sugars over a 5 day period). But to do this, they have to put like a needle inside attached to monitor. UGH! Well it turned out pretty well, because the kids are off from school and so is ralph and he can go with us for that - so at least amanda and I wont be alone. OK, happy tears part - amanda plays soccer with typical kids. She has been begging her coach to be goalie. So he kept practicing with her and practicing and said to me, " One game when we are up a few points , I'll put her in as goalie " . Well, today was the day - and its like a regualtion size field so the goalie post is huge! So, thankfully, the ball didnt even go near her, but she did it, she was goalie and she didnt get a point scored against her. I was so thrilled! And the way she told the coach exactly what she wanted and he listened, really impressed me. Oh these lives we lead, trully are full of ! ~ Mom to 12 DS and Diabetes Type 1 and 8 NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
