De Ja Vue...should only be on good things..IMO!

2yrs ago this week, my daughter Makayla started complaining of random problems, nausea, chest pain, headaches...but never any symptoms to raise the red flag of "time to go to the dr." this went on for 2 wks...I thought it was due to the heat, we were outside at cheer practice 5 days a week 2hrs a night...I pushed water like a mad woman, let her rest when she complained..but didnt want to be to easy on her..want her to be strong! Wow! if i had only known that her sugars were over 500!!That diagnosis came labor day weekend (actually 9-6-11) she really was not her self over that holiday...now 2yrs later, 1yr on the pump, the past 2 days she has been complaining of the same stuff..and of course we are in pop warner again..cheer 2 hrs a night, outside. She is home from school today for the 2 day in a row, sugars are high, ketones come and go, GERD is really acting up. Fluids,insulin,rest, TUMS and lots of love...what else can I do? nothing. Why cant I get the stupid fear out of the back of my mind to shut up? I keep hearing it say..."what if something ELSE is wrong?" UGH!!! SHUT UP ALREADY! nothing else is wrong..she is a 13yr old girl who stresses out (like her mom), has Type 1 diabetes, wants to do great in school (which just started 8th grade)loves to cheer and really wants the captain position (which is a voted spot by her peers)...GEEZ! I would be stressed out to! We are in the process of getting her a D.A.D. (DIABETIC ALERT DOG) so the waiting and eval process is stressful and exciting to her at the same time. All of this plays havoc with her blood sugars, which effects how she feels. I really wish I could just stop the train and let her get off of it, take a breather from all of the stress....it isnt right to hear your 13yr old cry that her heart hurts! GERD and stress caused it. i want to blog about the good and happy times next...reading this is making ME sad..blah! Chow folks, till next time.
