Update

We just wanted to take a moment and share that Elsie has been doing amazing since the insulin changes that we have made a few days ago. We are very excited about how much better shes been acting with more controlled sugars.

She is adapting well to the babysitting kids - we had a friend living with us for close to a month and she has since moved out and it was stressful for all having less room in the house. Elsie was much more cranky having more people living with us. It was a lot for a toddler to handle and stress can mess with her sugars too. Shes been eating better and more at a time - less snacking more mealing - for lack of a better word.

She officially LOVES Frozen the movie and loves the music to the movie. We have an appointment April 9th with our endocrinologist to discuss things. I think we've been doing well with the pump and are MORE than thankful for the DEXCOM. We actually found ourselves asking how we ever did diabetes without the DEXCOM before?

We see this sweet face and to us this face is perfection...what makes things emotional is thinking that ANYTHING could be wrong with this sweet beautiful girl? Looking at her, watching her, no one would ever guess she has a life long illness to deal with everyday?

We've decided that we are going to get healthier for Elsie. We are going to be cooking dinner at home every night and not eating out or bad foods as often - trying for never but we can't be perfect - We are going to walk and get moving physically to keep our bodies on the right path to being more healthy. This is our motivation;
     When we feel like NOT doing something healthy we are going to ask ourselves if Elsie gets to stop being diabetic because she's not feeling like it today?...NOPE so therefore there is NO excuse good enough to not doing something good for ourselves...

Take Care,
McKenzie, Sarah, & Elsie
