I so...Denise...your comment means the world to me. I sometimes feel like no one gets what all this means for us. Thank you for understanding my feelings. :) I am going to sign Seth up for the Diabetes support group here in town and I am considering finding a counselor for him to help figure out how to deal with his feelings. I've been thinking maybe he needs a safe place he can go to just say what he feels and work through his feelings without worrying about my heart. Snow melting hugs back your way...it feels hopeful, like maybe we did survive winter after all and the summer will come.

On so many levels, that ju...Oh, Becky, that SUCKS!! On so many levels, that just plain sucks.<br />Ubergeek is the researcher in our family, though I do my fair share, too. He's just on the computer all day because of work, so it's easier for him to read articles and look up stuff. However, I'm the one doing 95% of the D care and I can totally relate to the exhaustion and the frustration that comes when someone else doesn't do things like they should be done when it comes to D. Not to mention how seriously yucky those highs can make our kids feel, and how, in turn they can make us feel crappy because they feel bad and say things that hurt. (ugh, dying in his sleep...that just breaks my heart!)<br />And, adding vacation, which brings it's own set of difficulties, to the mix and you have a perfect storm of just plain shitty!<br /><br />Honestly, it could be the fact that he's still trying to process it all (not to let him off the hook AT ALL) and everyone has to come to terms with all the 'bad' that D can bring at their own pace. It just may take him longer to 'get on board' and understand.<br /><br />I can totally understand where Seth is coming from with the in between meals corrections. Bean was the same way! I mean really, who wants ANOTHER shot?!?! That's one benefit to the pump, for sure! But, now that you are back home and back to the regular routine, it's just something that needs to happen, whether he wants to or not. D is like that...it makes everyone do things they don't want to do: have shots, make our kids bleed, stop what we're doing and test/dose.<br /><br />Hang in there!! Sending warm, snow melting HUGS your way! :)Denise aka Mom of Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05726979027850619807noreply@blogger.com
