I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. At Rutgers, I studied Shakespeare, James Joyce and Vonnegut.
Susanne has a degree in sociology. She studied gender roles, poverty and the inequalities within ethnicity and race.
Together, we have unparalleled medical qualifications for keeping a child with type 1 diabetes alive.

Just hours earlier, he was strolling through apple orchards. His sister, annoyed at the fact that he didn’t pick one apple the entire time. Too busy playing with a black and orange caterpillar he scooped up from the middle of the road before certain squishy death by an oncoming pickup truck. A slowly marching eyebrow. He had set it free along the bark of a tall elm tree before we were to board the tractor. It climbed about twelve feet high, stretching its furry body before turning around and coming back down where Charlie scooped it up again into the bowl he had formed with his hands.
He let it explore his turning wrist and urged it to travel up his forearm, placing a winesap leaf under its tiny tickling feet.

Here's a wonderful rainy-day project that's perfect for children and adults of all ages.
In our household, we love to gather around a child with diabetes and create these charming découpage infusion set sites - providing a unique and modern twist to traditional drab medical adhesives.
With Father's Day fast approaching, I've selected these fabulous clip art images of famous fathers to glue onto your child's body – Father Guido Sarducci, Father Time, Puff Daddy and Papa John. I just love the way the Papa John's pizza with all the toppings came out. Yum! What child wouldn't want to wear one of these magnificent infusion sites in the likeness of these wonderful fathers on their bottom?

Mike was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes on December 29, 2008, and congestive heart failure the very next day. Talk about a double whammy for anyone, let alone a 24 year old. He didn’t have to come up with New Year’s resolutions that year; his doctors did that for him. That kind of humor has been instrumental in keeping him, and those around him, going over the last year and a half.
