bye to the boys

They boys left today. Jeff will be dropping Ty off at diabetes camp bright and early tomorrow morning.
I cried while I was packing up his stuff last night and when I was telling him goodbye (for the 2nd time). I know he is going to have a great time. But I also know that he is going to miss us. I told him it was ok to cry if he missed us and I sent him with a little flip book filled with pictures of friends but mainly family. Three weeks is a long time for a little 6 year old to be gone.
I think it will be harder on him b/c I have the ability to see him through web cams and podcast (this camp is very high tech) but he won't be able to see me. I think he's going to love it and I can not wait to hear all the stories.
In other diabetes news...the pump came in the mail on Thursday!!! I still have to do training on it while he is gone but I plan to get him hooked up and ready to start on his insulin pump when he gets home from camp.
This is going to make life easier and more normal for all of us. I am especially glad because his blood sugars have been crazy and on the high side lately. I'm ready for some serious control of his diabetes and the insulin pump is the answer.
