I just realized that I never blogged about our 2010 trip to the University of Florida. To sum up, it was fabulous! Our appointments were on a Thursday to Friday, and then on a Monday to Tuesday (not even Dr. Weinstein can handle all four boys at once). Saturday and Sunday we were able to [...]

Trauma/Drama/Excitement: We went on our first family vacation with all four of our boys. Prep work: I made sure to pack for every conceivable medical emergency. Along with our “normal” medical supplies we accessorized with a feeding pump and bags, extra gastrostomy tubes (not just the extensions), dextrose, etc. Plus, I mapquested our route to/from [...]

Ok, since I haven’t blogged in a few months… here’s a quick recap of what’s been going on. What we’ve done, what we’ve learned, etc. August: Trauma/Drama of the month: Dallin (our then 2 year old) “broke his leg good”- according to the E.R. doctor- in a freak slide accident.

I feel bad that I haven’t posted a blog in such a long time. Our family has recently moved and with everything else going on somehow blogging got moved down a little further on the priority list.

It’s official, Dallin is 9 months old and has begun cornstarch! We spoke with Dr. Weinstein today, and he encouraged us to start giving Dallin 5 grams of cornstarch in 2.5 oz. of Prosobee- and see how his blood sugar handles it. We started out testing him every 15 minutes, then every half hour, and [...]

She understands that we are training a dog that will (hopefully) be able to help the boys when they get sick. So, she built him an awesome robot out of tin cans- in case Luke doesn’t [...]

I think most GSD parents who are responsible for all or most of the night time cornstarches have a constant subconscious fear of sleeping through the alarm. I’ve even known a certain Aunt Bonnie who, after accompanying us to Florida, woke up in a cold sweat terrified that she missed giving someone their 2am. This [...]
