A glimpse of Our Diabetic Life, in pictures.


Below are a few pics of what our world is all about. Pumps...Pokes...Uniting with others like on World Diabetes Day...Our medical alert dog Lawton...Endless medical supplies...and most of all: HOPE.







But really, this is what it is all about...the faces below. They paint the real picture of diabetes. They are the front lines. They live it. They endure it...and all the work that I do...I do because of my unconditional love for them. Their older brother is just as much part of that picture. He has the kindest heart. He worries for them, and he has no bitterness that his brothers get a touch, (OK, a ton,) more attention than he. Diabetes is part of who they are...and because of that...I will work night and day to keep these faces smiling and healthy.



Lastly, I would like to share a present I got from my good friend Shamae. She compiled pics of many of the children in the D Mom DOC and made a video for all of us. It captures the heart of why most of us mothers and fathers began blogging in the first place.

Fair warning: It's a tear jerker!

  1. I love the WDD glow pic and of course the one of all four of your boys (your comments are very touching). All the pictures are great.

    The story isn't complete though without you and your husband (echoing your comment to my post). Diabetes is a family affair.

  5. Dang it. I had 5 minutes before leaving for work. I should have never pressed play. The one picture of the little girl in the hospital bed reminded me of Kelsey when she was little. Crazy hair and all....can't beleive we have been doing this for 12 years and while testing and shot(and pump)options are better...it's still the same as it was. (sigh)
