Olivia told me the other day that she had a motor error on her pump. I didn't think much of it - she said it exited out automatically. The pump seemed to be delivering insulin ok - she had some highs and some lows, but no more than usual.


Tonight it did it again, so I called MiniMed. Turns out, I should have called the first time it happened because MiniMed doesn't like motor errors.


They are shipping her a new pump and it will be here on Monday morning, when, of course, I should be at preschool with the little girls. It's too bad I can't drop them off and come back, but with my luck, the UPS guy would show up while I was driving them to or fro.


So she's loaded up with 42 units of Levemir and I'll be doing some middle of the night checks over the next couple of days, until the new pump gets here. I'm going to have to actually do math now and figure out her doses. Good grief. Good thing my computer has a calculator. Me and math aren't really such great friends.
