OK so our computer has been down and getting a new hard drive etc. for a couple weeks now. We have been having a great time with Elsie in these last few weeks, Her sugars have been kept at a well maintained level. We have started getting the hang of this whole exercise thing. Its been awesome to see her swim and play and she LOVES to play in the water at the beach. She has absolutely no fear - which is good but gives Moms a heart attack when she dives underwater - she'll always come out smiling.
We have had a couple lows from the exercise!! But we have been really good at bringing her up from a low without going sky high - which TRUST me takes a lot of finessing!! We are pretty proud of ourselves. We have a very active little lady on our hands. - She always makes new friends at the park and plays so well with them - The older kids at the park protect her and make sure she goes down the slide safely and its kind of awesome to have them guide her and Moms can relax at the park!!
Today we have a dentist appointment at 4:30pm - SO nervous - not sure what to expect!! We were encouraged to get her into the dentist fairly early because of the nighttime lows we get and have to give her juice or milk at night - and her saliva will naturally be higher in sugar from the diabetes so we'll have to have more dental care more likely - so we're trying to get her comfortable early - Sarah didn't have any cavities until she was 21 years old - so lets hope Elsie follows that side of the gene pool for dental issues... :-)
Everyday is a new day and a new blessing for us to spend time with Elsie - We are beyond blessed and thankful for all the support from friends and family - Elsie's birthday party is about a month away and we are so excited to share that day with family and friends!!
Take care,
McKenzie, Sarah & Elsie too!!
