I am a day late but at least I am here....lol Today I am thankful for Christian. I know to some that might seem strange, but I am thankful for him. He is a pretty good teenager, not too mouthy or too snotty (yet :) ) But I think what I am thankful for is he has taught me patience. With him being type one diabetic he has taught me how to deal with the little things. I know, "little things" with him a diabetic? but it is true. Yes he has really high reading and really low reading and it can happen in a matter of 15-30 minutes. But he handles them we get through it and move on.
He has taught me that even though you are diabetic, you can do anything. He may have to do "anything" in a different way then other kids. Birthday parties are not the same to him as they are other kids and yes it is frustrating to have to deal with all the ups and downs of diabetes (the high readings one time then the low feeling 30 minutes later. The midnight and 3AM checks that we sometimes have to do etc....) but he does it each and every day, shot after shot, finger prick after finger prick. I am 38 years old and I dont think I could do to myself what he goes through each and everyday and he is only 13.
So today I am thankful for my Christian or Pean as we call him :)
