Little Angel

Is it Friday?  Let's do a flash back Friday...

I took this awesome video pre-diagnosis - although looking back we see the signs of the pancreas starting to fail.  This video is from November 1, 2015.  The night before was Halloween of course.  I had spent countless hours working on wings for all three of us out of cardboard and cardstock paper to make us making angels.  And since the wings were made out of cardboard what was bound to happen? Rain.  Pouring, endless rain that would ruin my gorgeous wings.  So we went to the mall that night, which was crummy and boring. 

But the next day brought a glorious sunny afternoon! So we went to our favorite park in town,  donned our wings and played in puddles.  It was glorious! 

Painting fun

This video is taken May 6, 2016.  Ocean had been diagnoses for 47 days. 

Sometimes instead of making pretty paintings, Ocean likes to play in the paint!  Can you blame him? In the back of my mind this whole video I was thinking, can I get him clean enough after this to inject insulin? Diabetes. Always lurking in the back of my mind.

Bedtime reading

I'm not really sure where to start with this blog.  I have so much to say.  So many stories to tell.  Stories that I really need to tell but it feels scary and overwhelming to start.  So I am going to start with normal life.  At night, Ocean and I usually stay up much later than Daddy (he gets up much earlier than us.)  Tonight he was looking through our classic book section. Ya know, just a little light reading. N. Machiavelli and Mark Twain.  Ha!

I find these pictures so hilarious.  You can tell his is being goofy and we love goofy.  He helps me stay goofy. 

Diagnosis Story

Diagnosis story?  Hum... Not yet.  Not quite ready yet...

Edit October 27, 2016

I realized that I cant write the whole story down at once.  At what is the whole story?  Its just too much at once.  Too overwhelming.  So I will do it little by little.  A little diabetes. A little joy. A little more diabetes. A little more joy.

Edit 2: wrote the diagnosis story on his diaversary. One year anniversary of being diagnosed. Actually it took me a couple days so it's posted late, but it's there.
