I can't believe how much better Sweets looked this day. She had been given the o.k. to go outside and take a walk in the rose garden. I spent the night with her in the hospital the night before so when Dad came that morning, I went home to shower and rest and to get her some clothes to go out in. Sweets was getting really tired of staying in the hospital. I don't blame her. We were all super tired at that point in general. I remember almost falling asleep just driving across town to home.
The walk in the Rose Garden was so relaxing and nice. It was a hot day outside, but I think we didn't notice it too much. Sweets took it slow and enjoyed the fountain and smelling the gorgeous flowers.
After our walk, I left to take her sister's out to a much needed Mommy time and lunch. Sweets went in to rest and color some more.
That day her Daddy and I took turns giving her insulin and learned more about how to count carbs, count insulin units, and measure her B.S. . We had more meetings with nurses, Dr.'s, and Counselors. We were getting better at managing her care with the help of nurses. We were a team for Sweets. A good strong one and will continue to be a strong team for her for the rest of her life.
Daddy wanted to stay with her the last night so he took her on another evening walk and took a picture together.
That night, after another goody cry, I slept.
