SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME...

I HAD AN I.E.P MEETING THIS MORNING AT THE KIDS SCHOOL SO I DECIDED JUST TO TAKE THEM WITH ME RAHTER THAN SENDING THEM ON THE BUS.

WHEN WE GET THERE... I SENT THE KIDS ON THEIR WAY TO CLASS AS USUAL AND I STOP IN THE OFFICE TO FIND OUT WHERE EVERYONE IS MEETING. NO BIGGIE!

I HAD BEEN IN THE OFFICE FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES BEFORE I NAILED DOWN A LOCATION.

THEY DECIDED TO MEET IN A CLASSROOM SO I SCURRIED ON MY WAY.

HOWEVER...

ON MY WAY THERE... I SPOT A CURLY HEADED BLONDE LITERALLY WALKING IN CIRCLES LIKE A ZOMBIE(WTH??).

ACTUAL PHOTO OF ACCUSED ZOMBIE

 AS I WALKED UP... I ASK "JUSTIN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

ZOMBIE LIKE CHILD PROCEEDS IN ANOTHER CIRCULAR PATTERN AS IF I HAD SAID NOTHING.

I REPEAT(NOW STANDING RIGHT BESIDE HIM AS HE CONTINUES HIS CIRCLE)... "JUSTIN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

CRICKETS... STILL A ZOMBIE... STILL WALKING IN A CIRCLE.

FINALLY, I GRAB HIS ARM AND ASK HIM AGAIN.

HE SNAPPED OUT OF IT, BUT HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE WAS DOING.

HE HAD ALREADY BEEN TO THE CLASSROOM AND WAS SUPPOSE TO BE GOING TO THE MEDIA CENTER TO HOP ON I-STATION(I FOUND THIS OUT LATER).

I DRAGGED HIM TO THE NURSE TO CHECK HIS BG AND HE WAS 145. DEXCOM SAID 262.

IS THIS NORMAL?? COULD IT HAVE BEEN A HUGE DROP THAT CAUSED THIS.

I'VE SEEN HIM "ZOMBIE OUT" BEFORE, BUT I'VE NEVER FOUND HIM... ALONE... WALKING IN CIRCLES.

BRINGS ON A WHOLE NEW MEANING TO THE NIGHTMARE I HAD A FEW WEEKS AGO.

SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!!!

Dear D'Com...

Your REALLY starting to PISS.ME.OFF! S.E.R.I.O.U.S.L.Y!

Your self adhesive sensor is not living up to your week long potential.
TWO DAYS D'Com... TWO DAYS is all you hung in there for this last time.

I need to count on you and you are letting me down.

I.V. prep can't even convince you to work the whole week.

WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE YOU STAY???

(This is not a picture of Justin)

D Mama's and T1's alike... if you wear a CGM, what do you use to keep in on for the whole week? We do not have issues with pump sites... only the CGM site.

D'com and Ninja...

AKA: DexCom and Ping ;)

That's right people... we now have goofy nicknames.


I was the one who wanted to name the CGM. Hey... all my bloggy friends were doing it!!
I mentioned D'com to Justin because I thought it had a Transformer sort of feel to it. As usual, he wanted options so I told him the names of some other Dexcom's out there. You know who you are Dex, Dexter & Dexie. He didn't want to use a name that someone else had (he gets that honest) so D'com it was.


It didn't take but a minute for Justin to get on board with the idea and QUICKLY decide that his pump needed a name too. After about 20 minutes of thought... he blurts out "Ninja". Apparently his focus skills were on a much higher level than mine because I really had no clue what he was talking about. At least one of us is still with it.


So there you have it... D'com and the Ninja in full force at our house. I look forward to writing about our adventures soon.

Happy Wednesday!!!
