oh, this...

We have moved to a new town. My son is on his third endocrinologist. First one was fine, second one I do not recommend, so third one will do. The third one we met with this Monday afternoon. He was pretty cool. He showed a lot of interest in us. He was impressed with the logs that we keep and thought we were doing a great job. He also thought I may be in the medical field because he said I was bright and really keep up with all that's going on. Really though, I have my son's life in my hands. How can I not know what's going on? My son's a1c has gone down from 8.9 to 8.1. I'm happy about that, since we work hard on avoiding those highs with all the math and science that it entails. 8.1 may seem high to a lot of people, I agree and I always hope for the 7s, but even the doctor said it's fine for a 9yr old. Sometimes I feel like I might get reprimanded for my son's high numbers, but luckily the doctor assures that we're doing a good job. Somehow I feel that Dr #2 would make me feel bad, then again that's why she's not our Dr. We are still not on the pump. The doctor said whenever we wanted all we have to do is sign the paperwork and we will get the wheels in motion for the pump.
