I have not blogged in forever, but this morning as I looked at the election results, an idea or maybe a question of an idea struck me. I don't want to bore my Facebook friends with it as we are all inundated and tired of long Facebook post about the election.

I have never been more grateful for the health of my children, my husband and myself as I am this Thanksgiving.
I am thankful that despite her diabetes, Ella Kate is considered healthy. Sometimes that is hard to wrap my mind around as the insulin she gets 6 to 8 times a day is basically her life support. But Ella Kate is thriving and has SGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15210067252287690815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292785.post-59087127226873024912010-11-01T13:40:00.002-05:002010-11-27T18:50:42.741-06:00Happy Fall
I will not lie. This has been a tough Fall for our family. Ella Kate's type I diabetes diagnoses on September 8th rocked our family's world. Then in the middle of October I had my gall bladder removed. I either had or developed a pretty nasty urinary tract infection and ended up in the ER two days after surgery feeling the worst I can ever remember. Later we found out I also had SGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15210067252287690815noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292785.post-46706729702032294012010-09-22T23:31:00.006-05:002010-11-29T10:33:31.966-06:00Where we are...Two weeks ago tonight I was trying to wrap my brain around the 12 hours I had just lived through. Being told EK has Type 1 diabetes, rushing home to pack for the hospital, pulling my kids out of school to tell them and then have to leave them, the nightmare traffic jam in Hillsboro, the cries of Ella Kate because she did not understand what was going on, the precious sweet ER angel nurses who gotSGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15210067252287690815noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292785.post-14882063352645600822010-09-18T19:54:00.000-05:002011-01-03T16:06:15.627-06:00First Day of Preschool September 7th 2010 Ella Kate started preschool at our church.

Ella Kate has diabetes. For some reason I can type that easier than I can say it. It's been less than 24 hours since Dr. Dewbre gave the orders for Ella Kate's blood to be drawn and blood sugars to be checked.
