Thanks
People are finally starting to comment on my posts. It feels like less of a solitary endeavor now. I also have been checking out others. I hope to be able to do more with this site but don't know much about programming. Thanks to Sandra Miller at A Shot in the Dark(see link to right) for information on the pump and getting ready. Her site is alot like I hope mine will be. Venting my frustrations and hoping that others can learn from them.
On the TeamOlivia front, last night Olivia was interviewed for an article in the Patriot News. And this morning I got an email asking about a radio and television appearance in early June. Juggle, juggle, juggle.
On the diabetes front, Olivia had a strange low prior to lunch yesterday (44). No way to explain it. She was 150 at 9:15 and the nurse at school gave her a little bit of juice to keep her up until lunch. I guess sometimes there is no explaining it.

Jeff, thanks for the compliments. If my blog wasn't red already, it would be now :)
Giving interviews to the press? Sounds like you have quite the mature little girl on your hands. You may have a celebrity in your midst if you don't watch out... pretty cool.
Oh, those lows can be so scary. Especially when you can't track down the cause. I guess when I read your post, two questions came to mind: Any change in activity between breakfast & lunch? And, when was Olivia diagnosed? (In other words, is she still honeymooning? If so, then that can sometimes explain the "mystery" lows).
Please keep writing. I don't think there are any other dads to a type 1 blogging out there (at least none that I'm aware of). It's nice to see that perspective represented.
Jeff, I just wanted to say hello and echo Sandra's encouragement of your blogging. You are doing fantastic things for your daughter, and I hope we'll keep hearing about them. Good luck with the fundraising!
Jeff,
Welcome to the blogging world. I too am a parent of a child with type 1. It's nice to have feedback from people, I agree. My son is on the pump and I can't say enough about it. Brendon was low all day yesterday for no rhyme or reason. Congrats on getting the calls from the media. The more publicity for type 1 the better.
Hmmm. I meant to finish the sentence about his lows by saying that the pump makes it easy and convenient to correct his lows.
