EA Updates


Update (12/09):
EA turned 4 this October and is doing well. She is recovering from a hard year medically with lots of medical proceedures as they tried to diagnosed some GI issues she was having. She has been stable since May of this year for which we thank God. I agonized over whether to put her into public school, private school or to home school. Since EA doesn't recognize her lows and doesn't tell me when she is low, I decided to home school her for now until she is older and can manage her own diabetes care. We've made a lot of progress this semester and I am so glad! She loves studying phonics, numbers, puzzles, games and story time with Mom along with our outings into the city to do fun educational things. I just got her into a gymnastics class which she was hesitant about, but is loving now that she's getting used to it. Her endo also has diabetic kids cooking classes with the nutritionist, which I take her and her sister to just to let them meet other diabetic kids and start to learn about nutrition. We are so thankful.

Update (2/11):
We just celebrated 4 years of living with Diabetes this February. EA now wears the Medtronic CGM which communicates with the Medtronic Revel pump. We love this system, which has lowered her A1C and cuts out almost all Lows with it's Predicted Alarm feature. She is currently being Home schooled for Kindergarten and doing great!
