Went to China

Lake again on Sunday. Seth's Cousins on Grammie's side are in the State (from New Jersey) and Kailyn was finally well enough (no fevers) to go and do something. They had a great day. Got to eat clams and lobsters, frolic in the water with their cousins, demand piggie back rides and kick their new soccer balls around. They had all sorts of floatation devices hooked up in the lake and it looked like a three ring circus out there. I kept wondering what other people were thinking when they went by? LOL It was a harder day on me for some reason. Maybe because it was the first time going and doing something out of the house for an extended time?? That and some unpredictable things were thrown at us and we had to try and predict the right insulin levels. We did not do that well predicting so she ended up low. Her sugar levels have been all over the place again since my post saying they stayed within range, but more hypoglycemia than high levels. We think she is starting to recognize the signs though. She says she is dizzy and when we check she is 60-75 and we follow our Hypoglycemia road map, which we are still learning.
All in all in was great though to get out and see my kids have a great time doing what they love. I always love watching the smiles on their faces and it reminded us that this disease will not prevent her from doing anything. It is just going to take us some time getting used to it. On the way home we saw a TON of hot air balloons. There was a festival going on in one of the cities in Maine. I am not sure if the kids have even seen them before. They were screaming with excitement,counting them
and were bummed when they went out of site.
Here are some pics from the day

Grammie bringing them out in the raft. They actually BOTH swam all the way out and back after they had been brought in the float. (JT swam next to them)


They are the two little ones in the yellow life jackets with their backs to the camera.


Robbie pushed his mom Roberta into the lake when she was trying to get on the raft. Kailyn and Robbie thought it was hysterical and she did not. LOL
