Making lemonade out of lemons, making chicken soup out of...well, never mind you get the idea.
I've compiled a list of 10 "good things" about having a diabetic son. Doing things like this helps me keep life in perspective:
10. We always have yummy ice cream in the house to treat low blood sugars.
9. We can tell the difference between a good carb and a bad carb.
8. The human body is an amazing machine and we have a whole new respect for it.
7. Seeing family and friends willing to learn how to take care of Chase.
6. Meeting Dr. Kumar, Maysil and Kelly from MedCenter One.
5. Seeing just how brave and resilient a two year old can be.
4. Dancing, having races, going to the play ground...all great excuses to get high blood sugars down.
3. Learning that you can, and will, do just about anything when it comes to the health and welfare of your child. I think diabetes has made us better parents and even stronger as a couple.
2. Seeing an unbreakable bond between my dad and Chase.
1. Best of all, knowing that there are so many people out there that care about Chase.
