One year ago today, I knew very little about type 1 diabetes.
One year ago today, I had a very sick child.
One year ago today, I was relieved when the doctor said it was a mono-like virus.
One year ago today, there were no finger sticks or shots a minimum of 4 times a day.
One year ago today, I went to bed at night without the fear of my child dying in the night from severe low blood sugar.
One year ago today, I didn't know just how strong my child is.
One year ago today, I had no idea how strong I am.
One year ago today, we had no idea how much our lives would change in the next 48 hours.
I don't have a picture from one year ago today, but this one is close....one year and 3 days ago, when we first really noticed how sick he was.
