I lOVE this one. Quick, exceptionally easy,  and delicious- and you only use two dishes. Albeit, anything with that much margarine can’t be healthy for anyone, but… 1 cup unsweetened soy milk 1 cup flour 6 eggs 1/2 tsp. salt 6 tbls margarine With a blender, combine milk, flour, eggs and salt. In a 9 [...]

I had just finished cleaning all the hard wood floors. It was time to go to puppy training. It was also time for 6:00pm cornstarch. The light in their bathroom was out, but Jonny and Dallin were in the bathtub while our C.N.A., Callie, supervised them,  and Franklin decided this would be the optimal time [...]

Ben caught the flu on Sunday. We quarantined him in our room, and he felt much better the next day, but by Tuesday evening our youngest, Dallin, had a fever. Even after a dose of Tylenol, we could only keep his fever at 100. 5 F. Inevitably we were out of lactate meter test strips, [...]

Ever since the boys were diagnosed, the holidays- especially Halloween- have become a nightmare. Last year we let the older boys trunk or treat a little, and then exchanged their candy for toys.

Hands down, my absolute favorite instructor was my High School German teacher. Instead of making us sit down and copy sentences out of a book, Frau encouraged games, rhymes- creativity in all it’s forms. And, while I’m still amazed at the German I have retained over the years, I must admit that the occasions to [...]

Probably not, but it got you to read the blog.  The boys caught a flu that was going around this last week. It started on Monday night when Dallin threw up while drinking his 8pm Cornstarch/ Prosobee bottle. We despise feeding pumps, for obvious reasons, so after checking his blood sugar we gave him a [...]

As many of you know, we are trying to raise a labradoodle puppy to (hopefully) be a hypoglycemic detecting service dog for our boys. We are working with an organization in Idaho called Genesis Service Dogs that raises/ teaches puppies to know the basic skills they will need to become a full fledged service dog [...]

I’ve been a blog slacker since we started preparing for our trip to Dr. Weinstein, but things are starting to get back to normal now, so there goes my excuse. One of my favorite parts about being in the Clinical Research area of Shand’s Hospital is, obviously Dr. Weinstein. Next in line would have to [...]

How StarchWars was born- or at least the events leading up to it

I’m a firm believer that if you’re depressed or feeling pathetic and “why me” you should serve others and you will feel better. That was definitely me last year, but I had never before been in a situation where I felt I really couldn’t help anyone else. I couldn’t even help myself. I was completely [...]
