One Foot in Front of the Other
It has been 1 month since Kira's diagnoses and I still can not bring myself to write about the past. So I will just skip forward a bit. Kira is making big strides in managing her diabetes on her own. She checks her blood, counts carbs, calculates insulin, and gives shots all on her own. (this sometimes fluctuates with her mood, but she has the skills) She is back into swimming and her coach even said her times are improving. Exercise has been a struggle though to try and guess how big of a snack to feed her and what combinations of foods will last through a 2 hour practice. Trial and error is not my favorite learning style but we are figuring it out. Here are some pictures of Kira at school doing the things that she has to do now to manage type 1 diabetes. Kudos to the school secretaries who lend their support daily as they help Kira to remember all the steps to this process.

Love those dimples Kira! What a joyful girl you are even when you have to poke yourself a gazillion times a day. Your Uncle Abe is a big wimp and hates it when I try to get him to check his blood sugar even once!
Kira - you are AWESOME!! We pray for you EVERY day and can't wait to see you soon. Keep on being such a strong person and learning how to do it all yourself. We love you!
Your children are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing this.
Kira, you are so COOL! You amaze me with how grown up you are with all of this. Keep up the good spirits. You are my hero!
Kira, YOU ROCK!! You're one of my heroes! Gusti, you are another one of my heroes! It looks like all are adjusting remarkably well to the whole situation!
So glad to see things are getting better, we always trusted you would be fine. Love ya!
Lydia :)
