When my dd was dx at 9 months I had someone tell me that she should be easy to manage because her diet should be easy to count...GRRR...yeah, if you can take away teething, learning to walk, growth, stress... I had to share your post on FB and added this comment:<br /><br />OH and for my school age FB friends...the next time you are in math class and some kids says something similar to: "I don't know WHY we have to learn this stuff, we'll NEVER use it again in real life." I want you to walk over to them and SLAP them for me (and if it's YOU then come here and I will do it). You never know when life will BITE you and you WILL need all that "useless" stuff you learn in Math. I find myself doing algebraic equations in my head - with variables that you can't really quantify and that change hourly, all hours of the day and night, in varying situations and settings, while 3 other kids ask me questions, on about 3 hours of sleep - every single day! Go hug your math teacher ;)<br /><br />I've enjoyed several of your posts so I added you to my blogroll.

Don't get me wrong...she is a wonderful nurse and human being, BUT she would have given the 4.2! Like you said, there is no way for her to know everything going on with my son, and there is no way i could possibly communicate it all to her on a daily basis. Thank you for saying it better than I could!Kim Hobbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10753934945429777946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-65532543393642184842010-11-02T10:39:30.125-07:002010-11-02T10:39:30.125-07:00NICE!!

She asked what the diference was between Type 1 and Type 2. Around half an hour later she offered me some of her allowance! She felt we deserved it more!! She gets it a bit more now and will spread the word, I hope.Jules https://www.blogger.com/profile/01372324417732567461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-31926225196930529992010-11-01T13:40:36.310-07:002010-11-01T13:40:36.310-07:00You are always a great writer Meri, but this is on...You are always a great writer Meri, but this is one of my favorites!
