We met with school nurse, his teacher, and the principal on Wednesday to review his Diabetes management plan. Everyone at school was reassuring and there are already 2 Type 1 students on campus. Afterschool director called me to say she was getting his afterschool teacher trained to the Unlicensed Diabetes Care Assistant standard so he can continue afterschool.

We also have a meeting sometime this week to officially add his Type 1 Diabetes to his existing IEP. This will give him testing exemptions and accommodations such as rescheduling when dealing with low or high blood sugar. The IEP will also allow him to bring his smartphone and snack into standardized testing where it's not normally allowed as well as taking breaks in the timed tests.

Sounds like you're covering all the bases Good job, mom!! It will smooth out. Hoping you adults get over your "stuff" soon. Yeah, hospitals are full of germs!

You are on top of this, you got this. I didn’t know that there were such good accommodations for diabetic children at school. Nevertheless you will worry about him. That’s what moms do.

What a lousy gift from the hospital. I hope both of you are better soon. Big hugs.

I'm so glad Katahdin sheep are great moms. No assistance birthing and almost interaction so far. All the babies are doing great.
Dottie LHP19 had another huge single ram. He was 13.4lbs at 3 days old and is 17lbs now, 0.9lb/day gain.
Blaze LHP16 had a pair of twin ewes: white Gwynn and brown Gell. They were 8.74 and 7.45lbs at first weigh-in, gaining 0.56lb/day.
