Amanda loved camp very much. She said that it didn't last long enough to miss us. She got to ride a zip line, swim, do a skit for the talent show. They had a dance and she made lots of new friends. She learned how to change her own pump site. She said that she did everything to draw the insulin and get the pump ready and got the site ready. She just couldn't push the button to insert the needle. And, she changed the location of her site to her leg, which is a great improvement.
Time was very glad to see her. The very first night home, Amanda was getting out of the shower. Time came over to my bed where I was reading and she put her front paws on the bed and licked me. Then, she started pacing around the house. Amanda said that she was sniffing her first. So, we checked Amanda's blood sugar and it was 260. So, we praised Time for it and gave her a treat. Time seems to get restless when Amanda's blood sugar is high. We still have a lot to figure out. It will take watching Time and Amanda both for a while.
Time is Amanda's service dog. She detects Amanda's highs and lows due to her Type 1 Diabetes. Time joined our family June 23, 2008. Amanda was diagnosed in September 2003 at the age of six. This blog has also seen my oldest daughter diagnosed with Type 1 in December of 2010 and with Celiac in December 2011.
