As everyone seems to be preparing for the first day of school in 2 days, you can feel the excitement. Went to the store last night and the isle of school supplies looked like a tornado had passed through them.
Times like these make me sad. While everyone (including us) are preparing backpacks, crayons, markers, notebooks, pocket folders and numerous other school supplies, we have to prepare a basket of medical supplies and fill out a 4 page medical information form. We have to have the doctor fax a letter to the school giving permission for Nathan to get treatment. We have to pack glucagon and hope to God they never have to use it.
Days like today are one of those reality checks. I don't often cry, but today is an exception. Days when you realize, this sucks! When you have to write down all the things you do every day to keep your child alive, it hits home.
It's been tough this last couple of weeks. Nathan's stated a couple of times that he's ready to be done with diabetes. I hope that someday soon his wish can be true.

Hang in there, Robin. I know what you're going through. Thank you for mentioning my blog post, "If Luke Skywalker had Diabetes." I really appreciate it.
