Just looking at them, you may never know they even had diabetes..
(unless maybe you looked at their fingers because they are poked several times a day and a little callused...)
Sometimes the kids will look totally fine..an then check and they are very high..or very low..
You can't look at them and "see" their diabetes..or their numbers.
This picture was taken of Madi just a few days after she returned home from the hospital.. We were at one of the boys' baseball games.... No one looking at her would have any idea she had just spent 4 grueling days at the hospital...She was running around and playing like every other kid there... crazy...
Well the other day one of my other boys said something about "if" or "when" they got diabetes...
I really dont want my kids to have to worry about those things... They dont have it right now, so they shoudlnt even really think about it, but Im sure its in the back of their minds when they see all that Craig and Madi have to go through...
I did a little math yesterday and since Madi was diagnosed 3 months ago, she has had at least 840 pokes..& 315 shots...
Since Craig was diagnosed 7 months ago, he has had at least 1519 pokes...819 shots...
Thats a lot of needles piercing their little bodies.. They have been so brave.. Honestly, thy are so amazing how they have dealt with this all.. I am so proud of them:)
I love this quote...
