Siblings

Sigh. I know it's been a lot since Zach was diagnosed on July.  It can consume you. There so many things to think of pump site changes, cgm, doctor's appointment, learning the basics, school management school plans, emergency management, and training family members.  This list can go on and on. This doesn't even start to begin the daily challenges of diabetes care.  So, when Kaylie and I got into an argument over a seat belt of all things.  Things hit the fan.  She would not buckle up and Zach was low and I needed to get home to take care of him.  School is 2 min away and I didnt bring the arsenal with me.  I was stressed and she has been mean every ay after school.  Turns out there is a boy at school being mean to her.  I didn't know.  I feel awful for not knowing.  It is easy to get caught up in daily management of this disease
And lose sight of the big picture.  There is more to life than type 1 diabetes and it is not going to rule our house anymore.  May have won this round, but this mom is a fighter.
