| Josh & Sitka, The Strand Beach |
Josh and I had a nice walk to our beach today, following Josh's appointment with Dr. Greenwald. I just thought you might like to see how well Josh is doing. I think he is looking great! Sitka also enjoyed our walk.
We think Josh's islet cells are starting to kick in. He has blood glucose readings in the 60's every day, and the Minnesota doctor has already reduced his long acting insulin dose by 20%. (FYI, 60's is very low, most of us would feel sweaty and dizzy at that number, but because Josh is young, he doesn't feel the effects as much.) Hopefully the islets will continue to wake up and do their thing!! They told us they would start to work at around 4 weeks, and it will be 4 weeks this Thursday.
Dr. Sutherland wants to see Josh in early January for his 3 month check-up. Ought to be nice and cold and snowy then!
We are so happy to be back in Connecticut. Life is good.
