Packin' on the Pounds

17.14! What a number?! Those were the numbers that appeared on the scale this morning at Dr. M's office. Mommy and Daddy could not be happier! This means that in the almost two weeks since our diagnosis that we have gained almost 2 pounds!

It makes all of us take a step back and wonder what her little body was doing before her diagnosis.

We have had a much better day today with BG (Blood Glucose) levels. The levels have ranged from 62 - 225 thus far. Her doctors adjusted both of her insulin levels throughout the day to help, hopefully, with the lows we saw yesterday.

Her moods continue to improve, and mommy continues to become better at noticing symptoms of lows and highs. Mommy even slept, accidentally, through the night and forgot to check Samantha Grace's 2 AM levels; but, she was sleeping peacefully at 5AM when I checked on her before mommy went on a morning run.

Our family is looking forward to a small getaway to Atlanta this week. Samantha Grace will be visiting many fish at the Atlanta Aquarium and spending some time with her Ama and Papa. Plus she and mommy will do some retail therapy, while daddy looks at fancy instruments.

Our family cannot thank you enough for all your prayers, phone calls, scrumptious meals, and over extending thoughtfulness! We know that God is using this as a tool for our family to show that God is still in the miracle business!

We leave you today with a recent photo of Samantha Grace enjoying life at home.
