Potty Training Update

I am so happy to report potty training is going well. Joey has had only 3 accidents in the last 2 weeks and all were understandable due to playing with friends and not wanting to take the time. We have had some funny stories along the way. Joey has always preferred to wear his underwear backwards so he can see the big picture of whatever character is on them in the front, but on this particular day he decided his head would be a better place to wear them!!

One afternoon he was playing outside and actually came inside to ask if he could go pee in the grass!! My first reaction was no, but then I got to thinking about teaching him how to stand up and pee for our upcoming road trip so I told him he could. About 15 min later Alan comes running in to tell me Joey pooped on the patio!!! That led to quite a discussion. We are working on a new way to teach him how to pee standing up as a result :P

Our best friend, Emily, is also potty training so we took our potty to her house for a Potty Party!! This really seemed to seal the deal for Joey as we haven't had many accidents since then.

The final story for today is the fact that Joey thinks he is ready to wear underwear to bed at night. Mommy and Daddy, however know better and will not let him. One night was a particular struggle with Daddy. Daniel put his diaper on and tucked him in after what seemed like 15 times of coming out of his room to go potty to prolong bedtime. Then at 2am he comes into our room soaking wet!! I went to change the sheets while Daniel gave him a quick shower. When I picked up the diaper on the floor by his bed it was completely DRY?!? He must have removed it after Daddy left and then went to bed. He has been much better about wearing the diaper at bedtime, but has continued to come out of his room several times at bedtime to use the potty. Mommy is pretty smart though and has bumped bedtime up 30min.

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...
