Hi all.
Just wanted to introduce myself a bit. I have 2 beautiful boys and a wonderful husband. My oldest, Holden, is 16. And my youngest, Riley, is 5.
Riley was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in October '05 when he was 3. He started on an Animas insulin pump in March of '06.
It's taken me a while,but I think I've finally gotten over the initial shock and overwhelming grief that comes from being the parent of a child with D.
I'm not sure how much I'll post here, so I wanted to direct you to my regular blog, My Son Has Diabetes (http://www.threeyearsfree.blogspot.com) I started it 6 weeks after Riley was diagnosed and have written in it regularly ever since.
If you are a parent of a kid with D please let me know, I'd love to add you as a friend.
