When blogger acts up

What do you do when blogger is being temperamental.  

Really.  

Theres blogs to read.   Theres comments to post.    Theres ideas to post.   Theres stats to look at that are, frankly awesome to take a gander at.

My life doesnt change knowing that someone from Slovakia viewed my blog today, but maybe reading my blog changed the life of that person, or their child with diabetes... 

What hits me is, that Im trading in some of my privacy, for the sake of the DOC.   When the enormity of the World Wide Web hits you, its like...whoooaaaa.    Theres a community of people who log in, all over the world, the UK, Australia, USA, Canada, New Zealand.    We are craving company and a sense of 'sameness and 'uh huh' and 'i understand' 'i know what you mean'.

The most frequently viewed page on my blog is actually Reubens diagnosis story.    I get a quick snapshot of the things people typed in to 'find' my blog on google.  Amongst those things are questions like,

"Can babies get diabetes?"
"Symptoms of diabetes"
"Babies with type 1?"
"Cure for type 1"
"My baby is weeing alot"
 
I mean, perhaps what I write may not make a lifelong friendship in some cases, but could be helpful.   To someone.   Somewhere.   So despite sometimes thinking, who could possibly want to read about our life with diabetes?   Im going to keep on !

2 more days until Reubens 1 year anniversary with diabetes.   A friend asked me how we were doing.    My answer surprised me.  

"Reuben is doing wonderfully.   We're learning heaps.  We've accepted its (diabetes) is not going away."  

Yep.   He is.   Yep we are.   And yep again. Its a trifecta, it sure aint going away.   This is our new life.  

Bring on the artificial pancreas!!
