February?

Wow, I guess my silence on the old blog was a big enough statement letting everyone know how we're doing. :) Actually, we're adjusting quite nicely. Things got changed due to insurance reasons, so after the week of fun with Amy, we were off to Boise on Monday to go through training, and we drove back Wednesday, the 20th. So, today is day 13 and so far so good. In some ways it's harder than I ever imagined. The pace of life is hard to keep up with, but I know it will continue to improve and we will continue to adjust. The daily routine includes foot care and putting on TED hose, checking blood sugars 4 times a day and administering insulin at least twice a day, more often as needed, making healthy low-carb meals for my dad on a fairly strict schedule, usually at least one appointment every day be it doctor or physical therapy, helping with exercises, and taking care of my own family. When it comes right down to it, we have been so incredibly blessed, and that is how we are making it through. I'll be back to post soon. My kids have done too many cute things lately I don't want to forget.

Chrissy says you are rockin' and I can't imagine you handling it in any other way. Way to go, Christina. Hang in there.

I miss you Christina. Am definitely ready for an outing if you are up to getting out-and-about. Dinner? Saturday lunch? Your call.

Christina, you rock. Chrissy mentioned how much you've got on your plate and that you are just hammering through. Way to go!
