"It didn't hurt at all!!!" - Cale Sowers 1/26/09

It's a go!!! We are getting the Omni Pod. The rep that came to our house today said that we should be pumping within 2 weeks! I had thought March, but I'll take it! Wouldn't it be great for Cale to have it before his Valentine's Day party? All I would have to do is hit a button and no one would have a clue!

AND...the rep did say that it won't be too much longer (a few more years) and the Continuous Glucose Monitoring system will be integrated with the pod. Aside from a cure, that is AWESOME!! An alarm when you are going "low" and it will even tell you when you are on the rise all in one infusion site.

Well, I'm off to fill out the paperwork and fax it in. Next comes the training with the nurse from our doctor's office and we are shot free!!!!

Pinewood Derby

It was Pinewood Derby time once again for the Cub Scouts. This year, Cale's car was the Bat Mobile. It looked pretty cool. He had fun designing and building it. His car did pretty good in the racing, even though he didn't make it to the finals.

In each Heat, he raced 3 times. In the first Heat he came in 2nd, then 1st, then 2nd again. In the second Heat he came in 2nd all three times. Unfortunately, in the third Heat, he came in 3rd all three times. (Turns out one of his weights on the bottom looks like it fell a little and was dragging on the track.)

Here are some pictures from the day ~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTIE LAUREN

This little cutie wanted to help us wish you a Happy Birthday!! Meow!

She wanted to come and live with you, but when she found out this was your last year in your twenties...she said forget it. She's too old and washed up! We think she had a conversation with Kevin!!

Have a great birthday!!! Countdown to your birthday present...16 days!!

See you tomorrow!

Update

Step one on the road to the Omni Pod is in process.

Susan, the representative for the Omni Pod, will be coming over on Monday, January 26th at 3:30 p.m. to have a pod inserted on Cale for his test run.

Once we know that he loves it, and he will, it's paperwork time. If all goes as planned, by March we should be fully pumping!!!!!!

BYE BYE SHOTS!!!!!!
