Summer is going by too quickly for my kids!! They have been very busy. Hannah survived her diabetes camp. I'm happy to report that this year went  a lot better than last year. On top of not being "given" shots (which she didn't need like last year-she is on a pump-there's a story there...), she came back quite independent. She has pretty much decided that changing her own set on her own time is a lot better than doing it on "mom's time". She has even mastered writing down her bs and making adjustments with just a few tidbits of advice now and then from mom. For a twelve year old... that is wonderful!!! I am so proud of her... and what is amazing to me is how much better her bs seem to be.. I don't know if there is a connection. I'm real interested to see her next A1C.

Sadly, at camp, she met up with a friend that she met two years ago at another camp. They were in the same cabin this year. Her friend is diabetic; suicidal; and has turned to the "gothic" dark, black lifestyle. Hannah was rather upset by all the things going on in her friends life and wanted me to help her. We decided we both needed to pray for her at this point. Little else can be done. From what Hannah knew... it sounded like her separated parents and steps were doing what they could. An awful lot... for a 12 year old to absorb. It was a good teaching/learning conversation about the "pain" people can have in their lives. Hannah has a big heart... that for which I'm thankful!!

I miss my time on the computer this summer but that at this point can't be helped. Appreciate being able to log on now and then and read people's blogs. Will be back.
