The psychological effects

are starting to show a little in both of them. Kailyn is now off of antibiotics and seems so much better now physically, but Monday morning was Horrendous. Kailyn was crying and screaming about nothing in particular (not like her) and Samuel was stating that he did not want to go to the old school (dev preschool). Both did it all the way to school. Kailyn pulled it together, but Sam never did (I had to pull over on the side of the road for 10 minutes) and I had to leave him crying (I hate this). Kailyn also has pain at school and not at home. She said, "huh, I wonder why I have pain at school and not here?"LOL I told her to not get an ice pack unless it really really hurt so she ended up having a headache instead of a hurting foot yesterday. I can't blame her. It must be hard having a disease and not be able to show any physical symptoms like other diseases do.(The only physical symptom she is showing is the ends of her fingers are getting tuff from all the lancing :( )

Yesterday and today went better, but it is going to take a while for us to get use to the diabetes, school, activities routine. For example, if she is low (60's)in the morning we have to give her a fast acting carb (oj) and wait 15 minutes to see if it works and if it does not work (like yesterday) we have to do it again and wait another 15. Once it works we still have to give insulin and then she can eat breakfast. This can set back our morning routine around 40 minutes. Or if she is really high (say 370) we give her insulin and then she has to wait 25 minutes to eat. Same thing happens at activities etc.. Then last night after we got everything done and her in the bed at 8 (we shoot for 7:30) she comes out of her room and says she is dizzy. She ended up being really low and in the 40's. So, then she ends up not going to bed until 9:30. Way past her bedtime on a school night and we have to wake her up earlier now to make sure we make it to school on time. We never know what those blood sugar levels will be.

In regards to Sam I think he can't handle all the changes at the dev preschool. Today he said he did not want to go, but when Jenn (his teacher who has been there since he started) came out to bring him into the school. He got a big smile. The turnover there is horrible because they pay so little and most of the kids that were there last year went on. Seth and I are trying to decide if we should pull him and just do Speech or continue. I think we are going to give it a couple more weeks.(or shorter if he pulls what he did on Monday consistently) Oh, and he says how much he loves his new school all the time and when we are in the car on the way to the old school insists that he is going to the new school that day.
