Tonight, I gave Chance his last Lantus insulin dose. This is his long acting insulin. He particularly does not like this shot, which comes at the end of his day. Tomorrow night, Chance will go to bed Lantus free and wake up and be put on his pump at Dr. Lagarde's office. We do this because they do not want any long acting insulin in his body once on the pump.
I have been wearing his pump since Friday. It is really cool and I already feel quite liberated by it. It does not hurt to get the infusion site on and once on, you can't feel it. The trick is to put it on where you have some extra fat. The diabetes educator has warned me that the first few weeks will be a little crazy though I am not sure how much more crazy they could be than what we have seen over the last few days.
Saturday, we hosted another JDRF photo shoot. It was really awesome. Folks really stayed around to chat and get to know one another. I chatted with a Mom who had a 3 year old son on the Animas and was doing really well with it. This was extremely encouraging to me. Saturday night, Heath and I got out for a date at the Pittsboro General Store. We met up with our dear friends Loren and Carrie and saw Tommy Edwards perform. I did yoga in the afternoon, which really helps ground me. This is something that I desperately need with all else that is going on around me.
