Since Tas had his ear tube surgery, his vocabulary has really exploded. In the last day, he has said Heath, Cha (for Uncle Cha), Lala, book, Trader Joes and several other words. He is also linking multiple words together. He'll walk up to us and say Hi Mama or Hi Dada. Very cute! He also likes to stand on my chair behind me and play with my hair. Reminds me of when I used to do this to my parents and grandparents. He was also asking for Nana this morning, which is what they call my Mom.
Chance is in a "robust" honeymoon. The doc says this could last a month or up to two years. Either way, Chance won't go on a pump until the honeymoon is over. The honeymoon is the phase where the pancreas starts producing insulin again. His glucose numbers are lower but he is still requiring insulin especially to cover his carb intake. We'll have to take this one day at a time and really watch his glucose readings.
Tonight, had a girls night out while Heath a guys night at our place.
This makes me want to go pick my godson up tomorrow and just give him a big hug! He is almost two years old and emphasizes the "terrible" in "terrible two's." Glad to hear Tas' surgery went well.
ReplyDeleteYou seem extremely knowledgeable when it comes to Chance's diabetes. That's the best way to stay on top of it! It's very refreshing to read that a parent actually takes the time to understand what different aspects of the disease mean. Kudos to you both. The honeymoon will pass - and the insulin pump is wonderful. Once he's adjusted, you will LOVE it. And so will his sugars. I used to babysit a 3 year old on a pump (his parents felt better leaving him with a diabetic babysitter) and he was so proud of it - he'd hold it up to tell you it was time to give insulin.
Best of luck. By the way, I think Carita and my dad are cousins...? I could be wrong. So I don't know what that makes me and Heath - second or third cousins I'd imagine. Take care!
