Christmas 2008 at Mom and Dad's

Christmas with the whole family was really fun. It was nice to have everyone here this year....i don't think all of Mom and Dad's kids have been together for x mas in 6 years... Not all the grandchildren r in the picture...were missing Heidi and Mike.

Fall / Halloween / back to school of Kacie / Random

I needed to get some 2008 pictures up before 2009 comes :)

A little scare..

Ok i know all i talk about is Courtney and her diabetes well its kind of runs my life u know....

Well tonight Court experienced her first low we all did. Tonight at supper it was a little after 5.. she was crying saying she felt low...i told her check ur b/s. She said to me "I tried eating something" which makes no sense. Should of been my first clue. She uses alcohol wipes for her fingers well she goes 90 miles an hour and u need to let it dry or u won't get a right reading...she was 184. I thought she was just physically tierd. She did get up early. I told her supper will be ready in 5 min add it to ur pump..give it time to work. Well it must of over did it cause we sat down to say a blessing she wouldn't fold her arms...we said it again told her fold her arms nope nothing ...Erland is getting mad and i was like whats going on...I took her b/s 76..well that wasn't right. I told Erland get her some juice. I told her "take the Juice" she couldn't I put it to her mouth and got her to drink it..Mean while I'm crying..Erland is Freakin and crying...We asked her How old she was she couldn't talk....Kacie speaked up "She's 7" God Love her. We asked her "Our names" Kacie would speak up and tell her..Same with Courtney's teacher..."It's Mrs Cram" Erland took over with the Juice. I pulled her to the side and asked her to fold her arms like mom what does she do pull her pants down.  I called the Diabetes center and have her doctor call me back...well after i left a message a min or 2 later Erland says she is better and she was..Olshan called I told his what happen he was like was her hands clean...needless to say no more wiping with Alcohol wipes. Wash the hands...the meter works i tested it..she must of been under 40 cause she was 41 before her lowest and wasn't disoriented. 

I apologized to her for getting mad and freakin...i just didn't know what was doing on..She couldn't remember...she thought it was a dream. All this happened in 15 min long enough to get the juice workin...one scarey time. Now we know...i should of thought she wasn't making sense when she said I tried to eat something 3 times in a row...the babies were leaving and supper was starting. Just wasn't thinking thought she was tierd from getting up early and was hungry she is an emotional girl. We pulled through... i thought i sit down while it was still fresh in my mind..maybe my next blog won't be on diabetes...:)
