Small Successes.


Sherri from Chocolate for your brain now hosts the Small Successes. This is my first time participating since Sherri has taken over hosting. I suppose that could be a small success all on its own but I am not going to post it as one.

So these are my small successes for this week:

(1) We found 5 of the 8 missing library books. One of the three that is missing was broken by Joseph so we will have to pay to replace that one anyway. Hopefully we will find the other two this weekend. I have a few more cupboards to go through.

(2) been up the last two nights at 12.30 and 3.00 for Tom since he has been having high sugar levels. It is much easier to get up to him now that Joseph sleeps mostly through the night. It was pretty cold though and I really didn't want to get out of my nice warm bed.

(3) Joseph now sits quietly through our family prayer time. He was becoming a big distraction to everyone walking around and being cute so we decided it was time for him to sit on my lap for prayer. The first couple of nights, it was a fight to keep him there and we had a great screaming match with him. He sat quietly tonight for the whole time so I think we have a break through. Our next step will be to get him sitting quietly through mass.

Great job! Little Joseph sounds VERY adorable:)
I was wondering if your boys have tried "Glyburide"? I had a lot of success with it keeping my sugar levels down with my last severe bout of Gestational Diabetes.

Thanks Judy.

Gestational and type two diabetes are metabolic disorders. Type one is an auto immune disease so things that work for type two and gestational generally won't work for type one children. Their bodies cannot produce any insulin so many of the tablets that can be perscribed for the children with it, will not affect their blood sugar levels. The only thing we can do for the boys with high blood sugars is give them insulin.

Please pray for a cure for Type One Diabetes

Our sons Tom and Christopher and our daughter Amelia are type one diabetics. We pray everyday for a cure. We do not want one by illicit means though so don't support any organisation that contributes to Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Click on the photo of Tom and Christopher to read about why I am against using Embryonic Stem cells for a cure.
