Back to School After Type 1 Diagnosis

It's official, my child is not normal. 😂 We left the hospital this morning and she BEGGED to go to school. Literally begged lol. I got to talk to the amazing Nurse Tammy and I definitely feel confident about her care while at school. At first I told myself I’d go to lunch with her every single day until they got the hang of it until I talked to Tammy and realized, “Hey, she’s a nurse, already treats one Type 1 at school and knows way more than I do.” I felt better about her being at school than I did at home ha! The only feeling I can equate it to is when you first come home from the hospital with your first baby. You’re constantly nervous. Am I doing it right? Are they gonna survive my inexperience? And dropping her off at school that day was like the first time you left your baby after you gave birth. It felt weird. This new sense of responsibility for her life was overwhelming to say the least.

Looking through the cards Amelia's classmates and friends made her and they're all so freaking sweet. 😍😭 Every single one of these cards touched our hearts. ❤️ Mrs. Weragoda is an amazing teacher and an amazing human being, that's for sure. 😇 It was also such a fun surprise when she got off the bus today. Thank you to whoever left cute balloons tied to our driveway gate...they put a HUGE smile on Miss Amelia’s face.
