Mouse Has Many Friends

I’m admitting right now that I’m totally addicted to my iPhone – I mean it has to be the coolest toy I’ve ever had! So tonight I’m sitting here, on my computer, downloading APPS for my iPhone when about 3 LOUD LOUD LOUD girls come running through my front door--not a single one of them was mine – the weirdest thing is I really didn’t pay attention to them. Well, until one of them made a complete circle from Nikki’s bedroom to the kitchen and… Continue

Weepy Me

What a crazy, busy week. First, I am done with finals and have about 3+ weeks before I start my summer session at WKU AND this time next year I’ll be done! I’m winding up this semester with three A’s and one B – not too bad. I’ve been teaching a lot lately, which is a good thing because I truly enjoy that part of my life. Nikki has had a great couple of weeks – and awesome health for more than a month… Continue

Accu-Chek Cyclebetes 2010

My name is Grant Daisley and I work for a Canadian based group called Cyclebetes organizing events in high schools across the country to raise awareness of, and funding for, Juvenile Diabetes and the JDRF.

In 2007 a group of five friends bandied around one man who had made a promise to his daughter. The father’s promise: to cure juvenile diabetes before his daughter’s 18th… Continue

LARGE Ketones

There are some days that I can say, in a very un-ladylike fashion, DIABETES SUCKS. Nikki has had a run of really great health, fairly good numbers and perfect school attendance. Today is the first official day of CATS testing, so of course, we hit a bump.

Sometime between my 2 a.m. blood check and ‘time to get up’ this morning at 7 a.m. she had a site or pump issue (it’s honestly a mystery at this point) all I know is that her pump… Continue

YEEEEE HAWWWWW and PRAISE THE LORD!!

Yeeee Hawwwww! Many of you know that Nikki has struggled with an incredibly low immune system for the last few years, which is complicated (not caused) by T1. This past February she had her tonsils and adenoids removed in hopes that their removal would help with the chronic sinus infections; in turn help her overall immune system.

I am very PROUD to report that for the first time since kindergarten -- the first time in 5 years --… Continue
