Ended badly...but starting good
Jan 03, 2012
I hope that everyone had a great Christmas and New Year. Ours was ok I mean it could have been worse but it wasn’t exactly ideal. Let me give you the story. My son I’d say in the middle of the month of December started to complain about his tooth. It was loose so I thought time to go to dentist. I set up the appt got him in and it turned out he had an abscess tooth that he needed a root canal done on. We got him back in after that check up and they got it fixed. They gave him some antibiotics to help with the infection. Well he started dropping weight and just looked awful again we thought it was due to the tooth. I got him some Gatorade and he started looking better but just still had no energy. On Dec 23rd Matthew went with his G-Ma to hang out for the day and when she brought him back she commented on how much he was drinking, eating and going to the restroom. We were concerned but figured he was still fighting the infection and we would take him first thing Monday Morning. Christmas Eve we noticed just how much he was eating, drinking and going to the restroom as it increased and he was dropping weight still. So my husband googled the symptoms and it all pointed to diabetes. I called the children’s hospital and they said to bring him in ASAP. They took one look at him and immediately started two IV’s on him. After many tests to confirm he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. They then transported to the bigger hospital on Christmas day where we spent all day at. We have gone thru a lot of training and we have more to go to tomorrow. It’s crazy and just shocking. He is doing and looking so great and acting like his old self again. So that ended our year. So we started off great this year. Counting our blessings and looking forward. Today is my first day to work my booty off. I have to get going it’s been two months since surgery and although I have lost 45 pounds without working out I am ready to help it along and get going even more. Time to feel good about it all! So chin up and looking to the good things in life!!
