The night before school started I laid awake all night. Partly with excitement for my kids to get back in school and get a routine back(and for me to get a little break during the day), but mainly stressing about the teachers and staff knowing how to manage my kids diabetes while they are at school. I met with some of the staff before school actually started to give them all the information and supplies they needed for Blake and Brooklyn, but you cant really teach anyone all the bits and pieces of diabetes in 1 hour. When I dropped the kids off for school, I envied the other parents that could drop their kids off and not have my worries. I was back and forth to their school 4 times that day to help test blood sugars and count carbs. The school does not have a full time nurse, but they have something even better. The 4th grade teacher at the school has a daughter with type 1, and Brookyn's classroom is right next to her and Blake is down the hall. What a blessing that is for us to have someone who lives with diabetes there to help my kids. It takes a huge stress off of me. The kids have been in school for about a week now and are loving it.
