We have had a pretty exciting weekend....On Thursday Rylan got to go meet with Stacey, a trainer with Medtronic and we got his insulin pump hooked up....I was so happy to see his eyes light up and his beautiful smile that we have been missing for 2 months now....So far So good...we still have our highs and lows but it has been a huge relief that we don't have to give him a shot of insulin every time he eats and a shot before he goes to bed to make sure he makes it through the night. I still get up with him at midnight and 3am just to double check and make sure his numbers are good. Technology never ceases to amaze me...this little tiny pump that is keeping my little man alive is amazing, how it links with his meter and corrects if he is high and alarms me if he is low...WOW....now in a couple weeks we will attach the continuous glucose monitor, which we are really excited about....
On Saturday we ventured out in the cold with our wonderful friends and family and walked for JDRF to cure type 1 diabetes...it was so, fun and there were so many friendly people there. Our team, Team Rylan, raised $715.00....I was so excited, that was more money then I expected to raise, it just shows how amazing my friends and family are..Jeff, (Rylan's dad) ran the 5k race that morning, we are all so proud of him, he got 7th place for his division and 26 out of all and there were 236 runners....
Now we pray for another good week, And just remember....FAITH MAKES THINGS POSSIBLE NOT EASY
