Update on Little Miss Darci

Monday, March 9th--Darci came home from Primary Childrens Medical Center on Thursday night, March 5th. The pediatric endocrinologist, Dr. Swinyard, (also Brady's doctor) felt mom and dad did well with the education and Darci's glucose levels were stable enough to release them and get them home to begin their new routine. To be expected, there's been plenty of nervous feelings coming from Bret and Marissa and I'm glad they feel comfortable calling us for advice.
Darci's response to her treatment has been miraculous. It was a month of pure hell fighting Brady and pinning him down in order to give him his insulin shots and finger pokes. After that he finally was sitting still for both. In less than a week, Darci is sitting quietly to do her finger pokes, even picking the finger she prefers at the time, and having her leg ready to do an insulin shot. She still whimpers a little but I'm so amazed at her, what seems to be, quick acceptance of the treatment for her Type 1 Diabetes.
She confirmed it to me in the hospital with her little hug and cuddle before I left, she HAS amazed us all with her ability to endure and strength. Way to go, Darci!
Prayers are still appreciated but I think Darci and her family are going to be just fine, even Christopher and Xander (her older brothers) have taken an interest.
