Fast forward to Denver

There are sooooo many blogable things that I have not shared with you. I have tons of pictures I want to post from the many fun things we have done this summer. The problem is when life is happening at warp speed, who has time to blog? Yeah, me neither. So for now we will fast forward to today and I can at least be current for our happenings for the next 2 weeks. As I have mentioned previously my daughter Kira was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes in February of this year. She has qualified for a research study that aims to "save her remaining beta cells" (the ones that produce insulin). Without this investigational medication her body will continue to attack her pancreas till she has virtually no ability to produce any insulin on it's own. Right now she is still in the "honeymoon phase" so her body still produces some insulin that we supplement with insulin shots. So as of today we are in Denver to take part in a double blind study (crossing our fingers that she is in the 50% that receives the actual medication and not the placebo). Today is considered day zero because she has a PICC line placed but has no actual infusion of medication. So here are pictures of this morning to prove how brave and amazing this little girl is!Just outside the Children's hospital
