Diaper Free?!?

Could we really be on our way to the end of diapers??  The Easter Bunny brought Joey a package of Spider Man underwear and he was thrilled!!  We told him that he could wear big boy underwear when we got back from our Disney Vacation.

When we got home he went right to his room and brought me the underwear.  We started on Saturday and it went as you would expect.  Lots of laundry and no pee in the potty chair.  Sunday was an open house for selling our house so we had him in pull ups for the afternoon and still no success getting pee in the potty.  Then when it was just Mommy and Joey for the better part of the day on Monday there were a couple successes!!  Once he figured out he got candy every time he used the potty he was tired of changing clothes and taking his pee pants to the washer himself.  In the last 4 days we have only had 2 accidents and one doesn't count because we had a backyard full of kids playing and he just didn't want to come inside and miss anything fun.  The other was a poopy pants today and that usually takes longer to master.

We still put him in diapers at naptime and bedtime, but he has started coming to me to let me know he has to go!!  The next big challenge will be the cross country road trip coming up!!  Then we will have to see how he adjusts to the move.  Could we really be diaper free by summer time??  One can only hope and keep a big supply of potty treats around :)

Old Maid in My Ear

Last week Alan said he put a popcorn seed in his ear at school. We took him to the pediatrician at the base and they tried to get it out with irrigation. While we were waiting for the referral my friend, Missy (a nurse), took him to her husband's office and tried to irrigate it out again. No luck so we had to wait for a referral to be approved to take him to a pediatric ENT. The closest one is in Pensacola and couldn't get him in until March 17th!! Again I called my friend Missy and asked for her recommendation on ENT doctors in town. She gave me her guy's name and I got on the phone with Tricare. It took lots of call transfers and time, but they could change the referral to Dr. Tran and he could get us in yesterday. Dr. Tran was unable to remove the popcorn seed in his office, but they could get Alan in for surgery first thing this morning to remove the seed. Here is where I learned that anything requiring anesthesia is called surgery. They were going to put Alan out so he...

Not The Best Time To Start Blogging

I Got Type 1 Diabetes         Monday, January 1, 2018   I went camping at Pupukea for Boy Scout winter camp. I was an SPL (the senior scout boy leader). My chest started to hurt with each move. I went to the nurse and she said it was only heartburn; she advised me to treat a heartburn you want to stay a from meats, eggs, cheese; any free carb foods; and eat foods like a bread, juices, milk; heavy carb foods; [all bad for a diabetic but we didn't know yet.] I went home a day earlier after the final fire bowl. The nurse and other medical professionals, at camp, told me all I needed was a hot shower and good night sleep because I was camping in the rain. When I came home and took a shower I couldn't even stand up. So my mom checked my blood sugar just to rule out that I wouldn't have diabetes. I was around 500. You should be 80-150. So, my mom rushed to Tripler (the big pink hospital) at 1:00 am because the hospital on Hickam is only a clinic for app...
