What has been going on.

Just trying to get back into the swing of things after being in fight mode. Kailyn has gone to school 2 times this week. Weds she was having stomach trouble so she stayed home that day and we did her homework. She is having anxiety, this causes her stomach to hurt and loss of appetite at school.(at least we think) She is very hungry at home and eats a great breakfast,dinner and snack. The apple does not fall far from the tree in this area because Seth and I both have physical reactions to anxiety. We need to get her checked out with blood work for celiacs disease and her thyroid again to rule it out though. Her thyroid was off at diagnosis then normal the next day. Celiac's disease (gluten intolerance) develops in 5-10% of Type 1 diabetics so they will always be checking for it.
Sam went back to the Developmental Preschool today. We worked out a plan to eliminate as much anxiety as possible for him. The one teacher who has been there since he started (the lead teacher) would be the only one to come out and get him so he saw a familiar face first thing. They made him a visual schedule for us to show him what school he is going to on each day. He has one at home and one at school. They made him a social story about him going to both schools and they are going to make a video of him having fun at school.
Graham and Sam both had well Doctor visits today. It was interesting trying to do Sam's visit with the three kids. It reminded me of why I ask Nanie to come and watch the other two or three when I am taking one. Chaos. LOL We made it through though. Sam will be going to a specialist to check out his bladder and make sure nothing is going on there. He still has a rash and bladder problems.
Tomorrow is Friday, Aunt Katie's birthday. Kailyn has been busy schemeing up birthday surprises for her. Making presents and cards. Seth and I are looking forward to a weekend of nothingness. Well, not really nothing. We always have things we have to do, but we have nothing planned but soccer and no big things to worry about the following week like we have for so many before. I need to get my house in order and we need to get things in from outside. The outside looks like a bomb went off out back. I have not noticed until this week though. LOL
