Miss January

Every year the Utah Diabetes Clinic does a calendar with 12 kids who have diabetes. The purpose of the calendar is to show that diabetes doesn't have to slow kids down. Each child is on a different month and it tells about what they do and also how they are doing managing their diabetes. Kamryn was obviously selected this year as Miss January. I know it is hard to read what it says so I will tell ya...........

"Kamryn loves learning to read in kindergarten. She has a dog, a cat, and a hamster, and in her free time enjoys dancing, tumbling and playing with friends. Kamryn has an older and younger brother. She is proud that she has started doing her own finger pokes and is learning how to do insulin shots. Keep doing a great job at managing your diabetes, Kamryn!"

Needless to say our calendar will stay on January all year. We are so proud of how well she is managing her diabetes even though it has made her grow up a little more than she probably wanted to. We are hoping to get her an insulin pump within the next month or two so she will not have to have all of these shots. It has been a year since she has been diagnosed and it has been a roller coaster ride. It is really just part of our lives now and we just go on as normal (as much as we can!)
