After 2 days of travel and eating with different parts of the family, I would classify the holiday as a success. Blood sugars stayed under 400 for both of my guys. I would have liked them to have been lower, but it was Christmas! No real restrictions on what they ate, so I expected them to run high, even with extra injections. Some foods are just hard to calculate, but we continue to learn.

White Christmas in Texas?
It snowed HARD yesterday. Reports vary as to how long it has been since we have had a white Christmas, but I honestly can't remember one. Ice, yes. Snow, no. But it snowed a large portion of the afternoon. Thankfully, we were prepared to spend the night with my parents. Plenty of extra insulin, a change of clothes, etc. Traveling with diabetics is almost like travelling with a baby again. We can't just pick up and leave spontaneously. The list of supplies has to be checked then checked again. It would be catastrophic to forget anything.

Merry Christmas!
It has been a year of challenges to be sure, but also a year of blessings. Here is it, good and bad:
1 kid home from college for a couple of semesters
2 diagnoses of diabetes...a type 1 and a type 1.5
3 worked as lifeguards this summer
4 days in the hospital for Seth and 4 years of teaching for Jason
5 k of swimming by Jason (at one time, not total)
6th year of DI by Seth, and a 2nd place finish at competition
7 years in our house
16th birthday for Seth
17 years of teaching for Cassie
19th birthday for Josh
21st anniversary for Jason and Cassie
62 miles swimming for Cassie (total, not at one time)
Much love and multiple blessings for our friends and family. They helped us through this very trying year of loss and pain. Merry Christmas to you all, and may 2013 bless you all year long.
