http://connorscommandos.blogspot.com/2011/10/needles-are-not-fun.html
Fighting the daily battle that is Type 1 Diabetes. Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Needles are not fun. This morning Connor and I headed to Sonora Quest Labs for Connor's annual blood work. The first of many more years to come. While sitting in the lobby one of the other waiting "victims" noticed Ol' Blue protruding from Connor's hip. She asked what kind of pump he had. Her younger son (not present) wears an Animas Ping. We talked about the upcoming JDRF Walk for a Cure. It was so refreshing to see people t...

Fighting the daily battle that is Type 1 Diabetes. Tuesday, July 17, 2012. My life is Amazing. Sunday morning before church my husband, oldest son, and I had an appointment with one of the counselors in the bishopric. (one of the leaders of the LDS. Faith) Our son was first.

Connor's Commandos: February 2011
http://connorscommandos.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Fighting the daily battle that is Type 1 Diabetes. Tuesday, February 15, 2011. Update on our fundraiser. It's hard to know where to begin. I don't seem to have the right words to express the gratitude in my heart. Saying thank you just doesn't seem enough. I am in awe at the generosity of others. That people are so willing to help my son, a stranger to some, is simply amazing. When we came up with the idea for the name Connor's Commandos it was originally the name for our Walk to Cure Diabetes JDRF.

Fighting the daily battle that is Type 1 Diabetes. Sunday, November 6, 2011. The ants go marching one by one hurrah hurrah. This Saturday November 5th our family participated in our first JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes. However, my anxiety was short lived. There weren't many clouds left in the sky. The previous nights storm had dropped the temperature by more than 20 degrees, with the days high expected to be 64. I was very thankful for the cooler weather. Every step was unity. Every step was support. At one...

Connor's Commandos: That Day and This Day
http://connorscommandos.blogspot.com/2011/10/that-day-andthis-day.html
Fighting the daily battle that is Type 1 Diabetes. Saturday, October 15, 2011. That Day and This Day. October 15, 2010, the day of days.

Will I be able to look back on THAT day and not have my eyes fill with tears? Will he have a seizure from a low blood sugar we didn't catch in time? What if he passes out at school? HIGH BLOOD SUGAR...

Connor and I were both so excited. It was the day that ended his Multiple Daily Injections or MDI in the diabetic world. We went in and met once again with Martha our instructor for the day. Tools of the trade (Insulin Pen, Alcohol Swabs, Reservoir, Infusion Set). Written in his best hand writing were the words.
