I'm a single mother of a 3 year old that was diagnosed with diabetes just over two weeks ago. I work and go to college full time. My grandparents (his great grandparents) have always watched him for me. However, my grandfather's legally blind and can't do the injections and my grandmother is extremely nervous (she doesn't even drive) and isn't willing to do the shots at the moment. I keep hoping she'll come around, but I've not worked since his been diagnosed and since I'm the only income, I'm really worried. Luckily, I have a two hour break in my school schedule, so I was able to leave him with someone and come home to do the shots myself, but I can't do this with work because I'm further away. Does anyone live in the eastern part of TN and know of a facility can care for him properly? Thanks.
