We were in shock and disbelief. I think we were more distressed about the fact that he had almost died and then left to fend for himself below 20 staggering down the hallway at school, when he could have treated himself in class/supplies were there but the school wouldn't let him. I remember feeling as though our lives would never be right because people were so ignorant and honestly, looking back, we were so ignorant. Then I ran across the Dunlap family on CWD. They were great, very humorous about the disease and keeping it all in check. Then came along the story of Delaney being diagnosed at Disney World and the shenanigans that went on regarding Hendrix, an insulin syringe tucked behind the ear, and a rental moving at warp speed vs. utilizing the suggested speed-limit sign. That was the day that my perception of our situation began to change. I was moved by the courage, tenacity, and normalcy/or not of this family. I was sad that Badshoe had to use two ears but I realized at that moment that everything was going to be alright. I didn't learn that from a doctor or a nurse. I learned it from a family living with the same disease that ours was. Now, Mrs. Badshoe is a nurse and I am just a few weeks away from being one. Diabetes is just along for the ride folks. There are challenges at times but it will be ok. Diabetes or not, all things are possible; at least that's what our family believes, our "D" kid included.Tamara Gamblenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076190155284676524.post-53944704970414384702012-02-16T12:46:25.241-05:002012-02-16T12:46:25.241-05:00Great post and vision, Bennet.
