I apologize. I just couldn't take it anymore and needed to circle the wagons for bit. Dealing with my son's diabetes was a battle from the beginning. I thought the pod would solve all of our problems - silly me. Not that it didn't help - it did. But it brought a whole new set of issues. I guess I wasn't up mentally for that battle and daily life.
So I found myself needing to coast for awhile. The last few months I have spent my energy helping Evin. The rest of my life took a back seat - waaay back. I knew I had to do something when I no longer took solace in all the sites I visited to learn more about this horrible disease. From past tragedies in my life I realized that this was the shock wearing off and reality setting in. I do want to thank everyone who continued to support me in my silence. You lifted me up more than you will ever know.
So I am slowly getting back to the world. The turning of the calendar can do wonders on the mind. Although I had sworn off doing the JDRF's Walk to Cure Diabetes this year, I somehow found myself working on getting a team organized. I invite you to visit my son's website and to watch our video.

Your video is amazing.
Wow - your video brought back so many memories for me...when my 3 year old son was diagnosed...He will be 7 tomorrow and is doing great...but it is still hard every single day.
"I *had* diabetes"
I've never considered these words before, but I very much like them and hope we can all say that some day.
Fantastic vid! Hugs to all the family :)
Wonderful & touching video, Kelli. I found your blog via Colleen (such a nice lady).
I'll keep you in my prayers as you deal with this on a daily basis. Oh, and your children are beautiful!
This is perhaps the most powerful video on curing diabetes yet.
I'm sitting at work crying after watching your video.
When it got to the part with him screaming I couldn't hold it back anymore.
It is a great video.
I look forward to that day when my son and your son and all the rest can say I HAD diabetes.
Thank you for working for that cure.
glad you are back. I've only just found your blog though. Don't be rough on yourself. It takes ages to come to terms with juvenile diabetes. Mostly because we don't have time to deal with our fears, disapointments, griefs and pain. We have to spend so many nigths watching our "babies" and so many months learning how to help them. Being there 24 hrs a day watching a toddler/ preschooler who can't tell you they've gone hypo, and are uncontrollable when too high.
So go easy on yourself and now you have learnt how to survive - take the time to heal yourself so you can live.
Kelli-
What a wonderful video. It made me cry! My 8 year Daughter was just diagnosed on January 17th of this year. My heart has been broken. Knowing that there are people like you makes me feel so much better about things. I pray everyday that there will be a cure! May God Bless all of our Children!
Hello,
I am the webmaster of www.pinhole-glasses-direct.com
I was reading your blog and I see you have a very impressive way of describing things. The information you provide is very helpful. So I was wondering if you could take a look at our product pinhole glasses and write a review about and post it in your blog.
I would really be interested to know if you would be able to post the review in your blog with links to our site.
