Sheri Turner posted a blog postWe Paid What??!!
As the parent of a T1 who is winding up her 8th "live-a-betes" year (that's diabetes language for: she's had T1 for almost 9 years and she's only 14), I KNOW all the statistics regarding the cost of living with this disease. People living with the disease have medical expenses at a rate that's two…See More
Sheri Turner posted a blog postThoughts and Prayers
Well it has been AGES since I’ve updated my blog. As many of you know, I’m ‘back’ in school pursuing another degree in Child Studies/Home Visiting with a minor in Family Studies. I’m happy to report that I’ll graduate May 14, YEEE HAWWW! I say all this because last semester took all of my time and energy and that is why there have been no blog updates.HOWEVER, so much has happened over the last few months. I’ll probably take the next few entries to share some of what we’ve experienced, both…See More

Sheri Turner posted a blog postWalk Day 2009 ROCKED
The walk today was a blast! We had 13 people walking with us and it was so fun. 3 of our team members this year are T1's - Nikki, Zoe and Mikayla - they are all at the same school now and have become close friends. They even call themselves "D 3" which I think is adorable. I decided to do a video for my walk day blog - and I wanted to thank everyone who donated to our team, walked with us and prayed for us. We are so very blessed.If you have time, check out the video here or at:…See More
Sheri Turner posted a blog postA Very Special Walk Update
Okay people tomorrow is walk day! We are so pumped. I wanted to take this opportunity to let one of Nikki's best friends say a few words. She took it upon herself to organize a Max Life Bracelet sale at her school and worked so very hard to raise money on behalf of Nikki and all those affected by diabetes. Soooooo, Here is Brooke's blog:Hello! My name is Brooke Willis and my very best friend (Nikki) has diabetes. I can never know what she goes through every day, but I do know that it hurts her…See More
Sheri Turner posted a blog postWalk Day is September 19!
We are in total “walk mode”. Nikki and her best friends spent the weekend raising money by selling Sprite, Coke, Diet Pepsi, etc and the orange Max Life bracelets. They have raised quite a bit and will be at it again next weekend! In addition to that, the wonderful Principal at Brooke’s (bff) school has given permission for Brooke to sell the Max Life bracelets during the school day! It’s so great to see they young women these ladies are becoming – they all make me so proud.We still have almost…See More
Sheri Turner posted a blog postMiddle School & Nikki
With the sudden death of our beloved, 8 year old Lab - Buddy, I 've been in a bit of a fog for the last 2 weeks. However, since the arrival of Hope, our 12 week old Jack Russell things have been a lot more 'up'. I was looking through my last few blogs (not including the article I posted yesterday) and realized I have not spoken one word about Nikki's new adventure in middle school!Let me just sum up her first week of school in the words she used when she came home the first day "it was the best…See More
Sheri Turner posted a blog postBuddy Turner
It was an April morning in 2001, I was outside talking to a neighbor & waiting on my oldest daughter – Amber - to hurry herself out to the car so I could get her to school. As the neighbor and I stood there talking a scraggly looking rather large puppy walked up and attempted to say hello. My first instinct was to look around for my kids because I didn’t know if the puppy was friendly, he was very obviously friendly and hungry and covered in ticks and thirsty and loving.The girls didn’t see…See More
Sheri Turner posted a blog postDiabetes Camp 2009: Update
Today was Camp Thoroughbred at Nikki’s school. It’s a middle school orientation for incoming 6th graders (I know I mentioned this in my blog yesterday – just reminding - :-D). Anyway, Mikayla’s mom picked the girls up around 7:00 a.m. They met their other (non-D) friend Emily at the school and spent the day doing things like practicing how to open their lockers and find their way around the school – they had a blast.I picked them up at 2:30 and we headed straight back to camp because they were…See More
Sheri Turner posted a blog postDiabetes Camp 2009
Well, today was the big day for Nikki. One of her favorite days of the year….the first day of diabetes camp. This is the 4th year she’s attended and each year her excitement leading up to camp grows by leaps and bounds.I noticed a couple of things this year; the first is that this year Nikki was reuniting with friends from previous years. After 4 years of camp she has her own special group of ‘camp friends’ and they were very happy to see each other. The other thing I noticed was the campers…See More
Sheri Turner posted a blog postGood Numbers and Camp Fun
First I must report that the problem with Nikki’s blood sugar was not, apparently, the pump. Rather, it was the INSULIN – we must have gotten a bad supply the last time we filled the order. The morning we were leaving for camp we had had a terrible overnight so, in a last ditch effort not to cancel camp, Bryan went and got a new refill on the insulin and PRESTO perfect numbers.Having said that, we had made tremendous changes to her correction factor, meal bolus and target BG. Because I was not…See More

To say that it dramatically changed our lives would be an understatement; however, thanks to the bravery and determination of Nikki our entire family has learned to appreciate each day in a very real way. I hope to share our daily journey, memories, advocacy opportunities and a little bit of humor. This is our story.
