...welcome to our home. It sounds like you are here to stay for a while, so come on in and get comfortable, but realize we are in charge of this ship! Krissy is doing so well and everyone is so kind and thoughtful to ask about her. I thought it might be fun to share a bit of our routine. These pictures, while a bit sad, are so precious. I am sure someday we will look back on these and laugh. This is the morning shot ritual, we check her blood sugar, mom gets the shot ready and Krissy goes to hide.
Eventually she comes out and we take care of business. Sometimes mom gets a shot too, other times she gives a shot to her doll Sophie. (Then we go on to repeat this a few more times each day.) In the end it is okay because she gets to pick a toy out of The Bag. (If you haven't heard about the bag, keep reading.) She has even gotten to the point where she will ask to test her blood sugar just so she can pick a toy. We will have to work on this one. :) But for now, if it works I won't fight it!
Way to be a trooper Krissy. I know this isn't easy, but we can do it!

She IS so very precious! You guys are all troopers if you ask me. And way to show this newcomer in your home who's the boss!!
Okay...those pictures are sooo cute! Krissy is doing so great and so are the rest of you. You all amaze me! We love you guys! -Britt
I sometimes sub for a 3rd grade class, with a darling little girl with diabetes. She has to test herself right before lunch, and then calls her mom with the results on her cute pink cell phone. She's quite used to this routine and it amazes me how comfortable she is with this. I'm sure Krissy will be just like that, although it may seem daunting now. Hang in there! I love the "bag" idea. Leave it to Melissa to come up with this great idea!
She is such a sweet little girl!
That is so cute! Way to take the reigns Heather. I always admired you for your strength. You guys will do just fine. We are always thinking of Krissy and I think this whole situation has brought knowledge and light to many people who might not have thought much about diabetes!
We love you!
I love these pictures and love that you thought to take them and share them with us. Please also know-and hopefully Krissy will just grow up knowing-that we are on board too and are here to help anyway we can!
By the way...I better worn it about crossing you!
