Notice how on each lunch item there is a number - that tells how many carbs there are and helps with dosing insulin... Never a dull moment :)Since this is Chlo's first year in "all day" school we've had the issue of what to do for lunch. Chlo LOVES to eat at school and I think it's a highlight for her. Since we have the whole diabetes factor we have to go through the school lunch menu and decide what she'll eat and not eat. fortunatly they have a list of the carbs in each item so it's easier to give her insulin. As for home lunch though... I have to write the carbs of each item with a sharpie then total it up to know how to dose her. I'm sure her lunch looks a bit different than her friend's. :) I'm just going to be forever grateful for the cute diabetic assistant, Kodi. She tests Chlo and watches her for me all day! She even gives Chlo her shots. It's nice having a few hours a day where I don't have to worry about diabetes. Thanks for the "sane" time Kodi :)

What a great thing for you. I know how nervous you are about sending Chloe to school all day. Now hopefully you can relax a little bit.
That is quite a fancy lunch. She is one lucky girl to have a great mom like you!
Gosh, I'm so happy for you to finally have a little bit of relief!
I can't wait to talk to Chloe about her "all day" school!!
That is a lot of work! I am so glad they have an assistant for her - what a relief for you!
That is so nice that the school has someone to help with those things. That is a good looking lunch, I wish I had one just like it right now. I'm hungry!
Sherri - I want to have you make some bows for me for some clothes I just bought Kesley. I sent you pictures of a few things (not sure if you got it - your sister might still be in town) and just bought some more stuff. Are pictures of the clothes okay or is it better if I send the clothes with Ed to give to Dave to give to you? Let me know. Hope you had fun with your sister.
I'm impressed -- you really have it together! I'm glad they have a nurse you trust.
