Okay, some of you know that we were anxiously awaiting the Endo appointment because we knew her pancreas was kaput and we wanted to ask if she was ready for the pump. The stars were aligned because she asked us instead if we were ready to try one! I informed her that we had demo'd the OmniPod the week prior, and she offered her opinions and suggested to us that we demo the Animas and Medtronic pumps, too. So now we're waiting for the "Pump Class" to open up (hopefully in October) so we can be released and approved to begin using one.
As for school....I honestly felt like we were preparing for a hurricane as we were walking in with our 24 pack of water, Hi-C juiceboxes, "Lock Down" emergency boxes for the teachers (she has 3 this year), snacks, doctor's orders, 504 rough draft, and diabetic supplies. I'm glad we have Meet the Teacher before we begin the school year because I did not want to carry all that in on the first day of school! We were able to visit with our WONDERFUL school nurse and Cham was happy to see her, too. I think it helps that Cham knows she's in good hands with Nurse Swartz, and they have developed a great relationship throughout her first year of diabetes. Shout out to Nurse Ratchett...we lurve you, lady!
