I have read your ENTIRE blog and was moved to tears by how much our lives are parralled, yet many miles apart. Our little girl was diagnosed in Sept. 2010. She too, is three years old and we can relate to the growth spurts, tantrums, and just overall sadness of what she (we) will be living with until a cure is found. You should know that your blog made a difference in my life today and Josey LOVED seeing your little Hudson. It makes her feel normal to see other kids with diabetes. She just started the insulin pump and we have been very satisfied, though we did wait for 6 months. Anyway, maybe they can become pen pals and I will scribe a letter to you and your son?? Anyway, if you ever have any questions, please feel free to write us!!
this is EXACTLY the reason why we decided to post our blog instead of using it as a sort of "diary" for our son. we wanted to be able to help out families like you who are just learning how to cope with this new diagnosis and to realize that you are not alone in all of this. When Hudson was diagnosed i remember feeling like no one else understood what we were jsut starting to go through.. that everyone we knew of had already been living this with their kids for 10 or more years.. no one was FRESH on this journey like us. And than I began this blog and learnt that in the hospital we were at there were 7 other kids diagnosed since December of 2010... we were #4! Crazy how many kids are getting diagnosed and how many people and families are out there living with this disease every single day.. you never hear of them unless you speak up and than you find a whole new wonderful community of people who are there to support you, cheer you on, offer advice as well as a shoulder to cry on!!! We would LOVE to be pen pals with you guys! We were just in PA a few years ago... my husbands Uncle lives in Allentown.. so we were stoking Jon and Kate ( when they were together!) hehehe
I too have read your entire blog today, and also was brought to tears. My son, Bryce, was diagnosed on March 15, 2010. He was 18 months old at the time. We just past our one year mark. I have been extremely inspired by your uplifting spirit about handling this all. I thank you so much for sharing your story, recipes, and positive outlook. Hudson is so very lucky to have a mom like you.
I enjoyed your blog very much and your photos are amazing!!!! I too am into photography, more of a hobby for me now.
