Well we hit a mile stone for us.:p
The endo put us on a correction factor for Haley. Which I'm glad, the poor child was still hungry after she ate the top end of her 45 grams. She would ask for "more eat", than I would have to say I'm sorry you have to wait until snack. But she would raise her shirt and point to her tummy and say " tummy not full, see", I felt so bad. So when the endo put us on that, I was like YEA. :D
Now if I can just get her off the amoxicillin and get her ear cleared up than maybe her number would be good:rolleyes:
I know it's not the pump, but everything in due time.;)

Yea! Haley won't have to be hungry and mommy won't have to feel rotten not being able to feed her baby.
Life is so strange sometimes, isn't it? Could any of us before diagnosis have imagined not being able to feed our hungry kids on a regular basis? I'm glad you will be able to have more normal meals now.

Vickie, my middle child had frequent, stubborn ear infections. Before exploring the option of tubes the doctor had him go through a 3 day course of Rocephin. It was a little rough since its 2 shots (one in each leg) every day for 3 days. It did the job though, as this particular antibiotic really goes to the middle ear fluid. We actually did it when he was 2 and then also when he was 4. If you've done more than 2 courses of antibiotics I highly recommend asking your doctor about it.

Vicky, I think you mean the sliding scale for carbs and a correction factor for high bg. Congratulations. We were so excited when this happened to us. No it's not the pump but it's a great thing. We are on the pump now and love it but I remember when I didn't have to limit Ty as much with the sliding scale etc. He was so happy. Congratulations!

God Bless!
