Untethered

Letting up before the untethered comes in, we went a friends party at their pavillion near the water. What a beautiful day, the kids brought their bathing suits and the moonbounce was there. Britt decides she is going to swim in the water which is salt water, that means Crabs and Jellyfish. Ewww I will not get into that water, No that is why I didn't bring my bathing suit. I don't like water that I can not see the dam bottom.

So she jumps in is having the time of her life with all the friends children and what happens. Her damn site for her pump falls off. No big deal, I say we can use the numbing cream when you are done and put another site on. Also prepaired for this to happen we load up all the diabetic supplies which I believe you do need your own 12 pack holder of beer cooler for these supplies. Of course we have needles tons of them, novolog, glucagon, iv3000, numbing cream and Orange juice. Where does the beer fit in this cooler It doesn't you have to bring another cooler for the rest of the other stuff..LOL Getting back to the story, she is done swimming and she is in the bathroom balling her little eyes out saying "I HATE DIABETES". Of course I am a mess and feel oh so sorry for her that she has to go through this every dam day of her life till a friggin cure is found. She says none of my friends have this and I am hooked up to my pump every day of my life I want to be a kid again. This broke my heart. I had to let out a cry with her. Okay I say, I understand every child needs a break. As we walk back up to the pavillion there is the husband god love him, with numbing cream in one hand and IV3000 in the other saying "Britt its time to put the cream on if you are done swimming". I look at him like he has horns and 5 eyeballs growing on his head and said "just put it away". I wanted her to calm down, and he looked at me like I had horns coming out of my head like WTF is going on.. So needless to say we do a site change in the front seat of the Toyota 4 runner which isn't the easiest thing to do especially in the bum of her. She didn't even let the numbing cream soak into her she was like "Just get it over with". I call the Endo on Monday, get the lantus do the lantus shot 3.5 units in the morning and 3 units in the evening, Numbers are insane 300's but it gave Britt a break from the pump. she got a full 24 hours not being hooked up to her buddy. She finally realizes that this untethered stuff is for the birds and now we are back to full Pumping.. Yeah Baby.. Since we had great numbers these past 3 months with pumping and changing basals and I:C ratio's I thought pumping was going good, number's wise. I do believe the untethered would have been a good thing if she would have given it time for the lantus to get into her system. But she knows its always there for her to go back to if she ever needs that "Diabetic Break"!
