Ups and Downs

The past few days have had some ups and some downs including Chance's blood sugar readings.

Yesterday, I had the fun experience of finding out what it feels like when your drive shaft goes on your car and you are on a highway. I pulled off the road, called the manager at VW and called Heath both of whom arrived at where I was within 10 minutes. The first thought was that my tires were loose and falling off. The VW manager and his mechanic diagnosed the drive shaft. The worst part is that this is a very expensive thing to fix on a Touareg. The only upside to this is that it didn't happen while we are on our driving/camping vacation starting next Saturday.

The car episode occurred while I was on my home from Dr. Lagarde's office after an advanced pumping class. Prior to this, the head of all of SAS daycare came to see Chance's routine in preparation for him moving to Children's House next year. The net result was that she thought they could provide us with the same comfort level that we have in building K - Chance's current building and class.

Today, some friends of ours (Max's parents Noah and Nicole) bought me a cooler that they have that I liked. They had it at our last play date and I thought how nice it would be to have a cooler like that so Nicole went out and bought me one. It's amazing how a small act of kindness could have such a profound effect and brighten up a person's day. I paid it forward by giving the punkins daycare teacher outdoor symphony tickets for her birthday thanks to a suggestion from Holly.

This afternoon my Momma arrived. The boys and I have missed her terribly and are so happy she is here. When the boys saw her at daycare, they lit up with a smile. Chance ran over and hugged her. It was very sweet. We went to my new favorite restaurant, Macaroni Grill, where we were fed well and treated like royalty with our two lively twins. Coincidentally, Lex was there with her twin girls so it was a twins fest. After Tas and Chance started licking the salt and pepper shakers, we deemed it was time to go!

Tonight, Chance is slightly high - 220.  While this is not a terribly high number, it is one that we can't do much with. I gave Chance some sugar free juice and .05 units of insulin. I am hoping that this combo will bring him down slightly and that he'll come down by morning. He had some pizza tonight, which could be the culprit or maybe the issue that it is impossible to accurately count carbs for a two year old who is grazing and picking.
