Bad Bloggers - New pictures




























Hello Family and Friends!

Sorry for such a long time since we've posted some pictures. As most of you know, it's been a busy and rough couple of months. For those of you who don't know, Parker was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (click here for more info) on September 10th. Parker started to drink excessively about a week prior and with some knowledge from one of Corey's co-workers who have a little girl (Teagan) who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes last year, Corey brought him to the walk in and with one simple blood prick with a glucose meter and a reading of 21.8 the doctor knew right away. So we went to the Peterborough hospital for a few days to learn how to administer insulin, do readings and learn about carb counting. We were lucky that we caught it very early so he didn't have to go on an iv. He has been doing very well. We are still all over the map with his numbers (want 6-12 mmol/L). We have had a few lows (under 6) which is very scary and alot of highs. I feel like we are on a teeter-totter most days! So anyway...... Thank you to everyone for your support! We appreciate it! Enjoy these pictures. They are from a trip to Algonquin Park with Corey in October and one night in the tub! Love how he wants to wear his fireman's hat!
