Julia
Julia lives behind the Tofu Curtain, in the Pioneer Valley, in Western Massachusetts. It's a nice place. She likes it there. She'd invite you in for a coffee, but the three kids, the hockey-playing Canadian husband, the Dog-Who-Sheds-A-Lot and the Cat-Who-Pukes-A-Lot mean that the house is in a constant, ever-changing state of chaos.
In fact, she thinks she used to have two cats but believes one is lost in the clutter. Either that or it decamped for neater surroundings. Her eldest daughter, Olivia, has type 1 diabetes. She's also 13. It's a real toss-up as to which is more difficult -- the diabetes or the teen-age drama.
When she's not trying to grab a nap, grab a toddler or grab a drink, she can be found here, on dLife or over at her other blogs (the ones where she swears with gay abandon) Major Bedhead and New England Mamas. She'll bend your ear on just about any subject. There are only two things that she won't tolerate bad grammar and dissing the Red Sox. And even the grammar can be flexible. The Red Sox? Not so much.

No, I'm not type 1, but I did go to camp as a kid. Lots of camps.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. We'll try both of them. And make sure we have plenty of juice on hand, too.

That's just about when I shut it off, Penny. I couldn't take it any more.

Blah. I'm sorry you're having such a rough time of it. You alluded to it the other day, but I hadn't read this post then.
I usually try not to think about it. I stick my fingers in my ears and say "lalalalalalala". Loudly. Otherwise I fear I might lose my mind with worrying that it's doing just that to Olivia.

Thank you SO much for that information! I think you saved me a few headaches. :)

I know. I cannot imagine seeing my child go thru that and not doing anything. I couldn't live with myself.

I watched the first episode and am DVRing the rest. I thought it seemed pretty common sense, too. The guy's a bit of a character.

She's been tested for celiac and it came back negative. I'll be making an appointment with a gastroenterologist as soon as we have health insurance again.

Penny, that's exactly what Olivia has been saying. She hates that the nurse treats all the D kids the same and even though O and I have tried to explain it to her, the nurse just doesn't seem to get it. It gets frustrating after a while. She's had this nurse for 4.5 years now - you'd think she'd get it, y'know?
