Cassie Got a New Hat!


















Mardi Gras Anybody?

















Look It's Farmer Jeremiah!


Well, Cassie went to diabetes camp and had a blast. Cassie was cabin leader, so she says she was. Cassie told me the funniest story about a young woman who only brought three pair of undergarments with her to camp, well come day four this girl wore nothing under her clothes and Cass found the girls dirty undergarments lying on the bathroom sink. Cass was disgusted! She called all the girls into the bathroom and gave them a lesson in how to keep dirty undergarments off the bathroom sink. Cassie said the actual cabin leaders were standing in the showers laughing at her little show of leadership. I have to say that I would have been just as disgusted. Cassie did very well at camp and had lots of fun. The nurse told me Cassie is very independant with her diabetes management which is wonderful! Cassie let another little girl use her injector for an infusion set and that little girl broke cassie's only injector. Thank God it was the day after Cassie had just changed her site and didn't need to change it again til she got home. And Cassie's best friend let her borrow a spare one to get her through until we get another one ordered. Cassie is going to North Carolina with her grandmother next week. I think Cassie has traveled more this summer than she has ever travelled. I have to share my story with everyone about ice cream and blood sugar levels. I took Cassie, Jeremiah, and Cassie's friend Katrina to Camden Park, a small amusement park in West Virginia. While there the girls wanted ice cream. I had them check sugars and their levels were high. Katrina was around 400 and Cassie was over 300. I went ahead and let tham both get ice cream and after eating the ice cream we walked around some more and rode more rides. I forgot to have the girls bolus for the ice cream and they forgot too. About an hour later we did a recheck on sugars and both girls came down to normal levels. I couldn't believe it. Katrina was around 165 and Cassie was around 145. How did those girls have high numbers, ice cream and no food bolus or correction bolus and come down to normal? I have seen that happen on more than one occasion. I just don't understand it. but I am not knocking it either. Oh yeah, and yes Jeremiah got ice cream too!
