No more shots









Ethan's getting an insulin pump! Say goodbye to the needles. He has been okayed by his doctors to start pump therapy at the end of July. Right now we are in the process of picking the one we want, but we are so excited. This is what the pump will look like on his body. It's the size of a pager and connected to it is a thin plastic tube that is inserted into his tummy that dispenses the insulin. Hopefully it will come through with it's guarantee to better control his blood sugar highs and lows. Just recently Ethan has started objecting to getting shots so it couldn't come at a better time. More to come...

Jos..That is so cute..But yet so sad. I hate shots. My friend has a pump like that and she loves it. It seems way easier. Bless his little heart. I love that the beeper case is all cool for kid o's.
