For Christmas I got Reuben a Woody doll (of Toy Story fame). We sat together at the dining table one night and he thrust the doll at me. Make him talk, Mummy. Woody, when brought to life courtesy of moi, sounds like a 34 year old woman, trying to sound cowboy slash american slash toy like.
Not pretty.
My sweet boy is not cognisant of my theatrical failings. He is giggling and smiling at this doll while I make him chatter and strut. While playing it becomes testing time. We merely say 'tester' to Reuben and he holds out the finger he wishes us to prick. Woody apparently had really rapid onset diabetes. (Sans the dka and hospital stay). He suddenly needs a 'tester' too. My son assembles the strip and loads the lancet. I have to double take.
Grasping woodys tiny hand hes pricking his finger and squeezing like crazy. (FFS< I winced for Woody's stuffing.) Hes concentrating so hard to get the little strip up to the fabric finger. Needle time! Reuben is announcing even though Cowboy Woody is 3.3.
Busting out some syringes we give Woody his novorapid in back of the arm - Reubens current favourite injection site. Hes very matter of factly telling his sister that you cannot give a needle in the various locales shes trying to stab him. Not the ankle. Not the neck. NOT the armpit!!!!
Theres nothing a boy and his
Oh my word...Reuben and his cowboy are just the most precious thing! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas...you have been missed!

ReplyDeleteOur son has just been diagnosed with diabetes. At times, I felt the guilt as it runs in the family. My father had diabetes and so as my other 2 brothers. Right now, we're lost and trying to get our feet wet. Blogs like these give hope and courage to others. Thanks.

Hi Tim, Im really sorry to hear of your sons diagnosis with diabetes. I would encourage you to let go of the guilt as much as possible, there is so much to learn, so much grief to deal with it isnt your fault... just take one day at a time and thats enough. Much love and hugs to your family. I assure you it will get easier to accept, and manage.
ReplyDeleteAs a sign of gratitude for how my husband was saved from diabetes , i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
ReplyDeleteMy husband was diagnosed of diabetes and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he had difficulty eating, and he always complain of stomach pain and he always have frequent urination . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the cure to diabetes . I never imagine diabetes has a cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life. diabetes has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony
I'm 57 years old and female. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with COPD and I was beyond scared! My lung function test indicated 49% capacity. After having had flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled in just one inch away from my spine, resulting to underdeveloped lungs. At age 34 I had surgery and it was fixed. Unfortunately my smoking just caused more damage to my already under developed lungs. The problem was having is that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up! Have tried twice before and nearly went crazy and don't want to go through that again. I saw the fear in my husband and children's eyes when I told them about my condition then they start to find solution on their own to help my condition.I am an 57 now who was diagnose COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals. It was not known then how dangerous cigarettes were for us, and it seemed everybody smoked but i was able to get rid of my COPD lung condition through the help of Dr Akhigbe total cure herbal medicine. my husband saw his testimony on the internet he used his powerful medicine to cured different diseases. we contacted his email [drrealakhigbe@gmail.com} He has the right herbal formula to help you get rid and repair any lung conditions and others diseases, will cure you totally and permanently with his natural organic herbs,We received the medicine through courier delivery service. I wish anybody who starts smoking at a young age would realize what will eventually happen to their bodies if they continue that vile habit throughout their life.
