I (mom) had been handling the majority of N's diabetic needs. We were talking to her about dad starting to do some insulin shots, and taking on some of that work load. She was resistant. Mainly because she didn't want him to give her any shots in her rear end. Fair enough.
Last minute, I had to go out of town for a family funeral this last weekend. It was sink or swim for dad and N.
They swam.
I'm thrilled.
He managed all the insulin, she handled all the blood glucose tests. He and I worked out a basic meal plan before I left. She also had a playdate with lunch, which they managed beautifully, including dad emailing with the other mom about carb needs.
I had no idea how heavily this was resting on my shoulders until I was away for 4 days. I'm so happy knowing that she's in good, capable hands with both of her parents.
Not that I doubted his skills, but it was a bit of a pressure situation.
Victories!
