I was scared to death. At the first stop (or NOT as I had no idea!), he jumped off. I FREAKED-if I didn't get off then, I'd be ALONE on the next one. I just bailed-past the ski-away and fell from the lift-but I didn't break my leg (tiny yay!). I know how you feel-I feel it everytime I let Mary Claire go somewhere new-girl scout camp-ALL Day! I give her a phone, and we talk all day. It at least makes ME feel better! : ) ANd that is totally what counts. ; ) If you keep going up there, try to watch secretly, then call him and ask if he's checked himself lately. Does he think he can handle it? Could I just write a book? ; ) Love you, I'm thinking of you!!!! Ps-I am totally coming up to NJ-how far are you??Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864147601205439993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177432865376147686.post-38317810665780378392011-07-15T21:40:28.794-04:002011-07-15T21:40:28.794-04:00I have done hockey camps like this with Jeff.

I followed him from inside to out, to locker room for lunch, and hanging over the boards yelling for the Coach to send him over to me. The coach running the camp had some high school kids helping him out, and they each had a tube of glucose tablets in their pockets. Everyone was helpful, and Jeff had a great week. We are doing the Bruins Camp this year! This will be Jeffs 4th year doing a Hockey camp. You can do it! It will be great and he will have a fabulous time. Just watch him close, especially at night when he gets home, he will be so tired, and the lag can be intense. You will do great!Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177432865376147686.post-71107472422097994482011-07-15T20:11:02.930-04:002011-07-15T20:11:02.930-04:00somehow it will all work out, I just know it, and ...somehow it will all work out, I just know it, and to me you sound cool as a cucumber - great planning, great gearing up - it's going to be awesome!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210820513382353417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177432865376147686.post-73949593911990871952011-07-15T14:49:53.095-04:002011-07-15T14:49:53.095-04:00Reyna....I admire you so much.

Aiden just started back to preschool some full days and an afternoon fill in who had allegedly been "trained" to watch him (not by me!!) Told me that he had told her that he wasn't feeling well and that he had been kind of draggy. "But I checked his pulse and it was fine!" Well, FFS! Then he freakin' must be fine!

That's my strongest point. Camden knows what to do with the stuff in the bag, but could be lost if he couldn't find it.<br />It sounds like at the end of the week this will have been a totally freeing experience for both of you.

It's just about you doing what you have to do. If you had a choice you'd have him home wrapped up in a blanket on your couch in bubble wrap. But what fun would that be? I know you can make it work.

It is just like everything else with diabetes - scares the crap out of you at first, then you follow your plan, see the data, and go from there. (Like coming home after dx.) <br /><br />Only thing I like to add if people are new to D care is that if John would ever faint or be non responsive - Call 911 FIRST. Then call me or do glucagon. I know that is a scary part to talk about, but needs to be covered. <br /><br />He will do great and so will you Reyna, you already are!Becky Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10440780887445338114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177432865376147686.post-22019669002951634262011-07-14T10:36:38.140-04:002011-07-14T10:36:38.140-04:00You and Joe are going to do this.
