Our Sweet Hannah!

On January 15th of this year, Hannah was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. She has been a real trooper and never complains when it's time to check her blood glucose or get her shot. It's certainly turned our world upside down. The first two weeks were very difficult for me. As I've tried to learn about this disease and how to best care for Hannah, I've had many, many concerns. Many sleepless nights, as we've had to check her at 2:00a.m. She's finally reaching a level that the nurse feels is safe so there is no need for the early morning checks. So for now, she gets checked four times a day and gets between 2 and 4 shots a day. We're learning to count carbs and eat healthier. The next trick is to get her on a consistent exercise program. Hannah plays the piano well and can rock the guitar on Rock Band, but for now she's only exercising her fingers.

 

I still have my fears but I know that Hannah will get through this, we all will. Her family is a great support system and we love her very much. She has a lot to look forward to!
