Michaela update

Michaela is doing well.  She is getting adjusted to trying to eat on a regular schedule, plus getting her blood sugar checked and getting shots.  Life is starting to get back into a normal routine.  We met her new endocrinologist yesterday.  Her new Dr. is in Albuquerque.  So we went up Tuesday night and spent the night up there.  Then we came home last night after all of the appointments.  We are very pleased with her new diabetes team!  She also has an adorable new bear, who wears a medic alert bracelet and has patches on his paws, arms, legs, etc. for his blood sugar checks and his insulin shots.

We want to say "Thank You!" to everyone who has been praying for Michaela and our family!  Everything is going much smoother than we had anticipated, and we know that it is due to your prayers and God's help!

I am finally getting around to posting pictures of when she was in the hospital.  Sorry... life has been just a little hectic.

Mom and Dad came out to help us with everything and make sure their oldest little "Princess" was doing okay.  We are very grateful for all of their help and their expertise with diabetes.  Michaela was very excited to wake up from her nap and find Grammy and Papa there!

Papa and Chaela

This was obviously when she was feeling much better.  I think it was taken the afternoon before she was discharged.

And with everything that was going on, we wore Josiah out.  This was the morning Michaela was discharged from the hospital.  I found him on our bed with two pacifiers and our alarm clock.  The clock has a built in sound machine with chimes, nature sounds, etc.  He likes to play with it.  I left him up there and he was sound asleep in a few minutes.  It really was only 9:30 in the morning.  He usually only takes an afternoon nap.  Mom and Dad stayed home with him, and he slept for a couple of hours.
