1 year diabetes-versary

One year ago today, Kade was diagnosed with T1 diabetes. A year ago today, I thought our lives were over (dramatic yes but honestly how I felt for a while). Today we celebrate that it wasn't the end of life. Most days feel perfectly normal and most people would never guess he has it. His life is perfectly normal and he's happy, sometimes we even forget :) Technology and modern medicine saved his life so today we celebrated living at the living planet aquarium and had slurpees. It was a good day. #prayingforacure

Kade's Pump

🍀Today's our lucky day. After 8 months of 3-5 shots a day, Kade FINALLY got his pump today. He'll only need one "shot"  every 3 days. The best part is he no longer has to decide if any snack is worth a shot. He can eat whatever whenever. It's a great day! Happy St Patricks day! 🍀

After a 3 hour appointment being trained on how to use it, we took Kade to lunch to celebrate. Afterwards, we celebrated the new pump with a spur of the moment shamrock shake. This kid hasn't had a dessert not planned in 8 months. He just kept telling me how lucky he was not to have to get a shot. I'm feeling pretty lucky/grateful too 🍀
