Shots... uggg :(

The shots are quite heavy on my mind. I dread the end of the night and can see myself getting in the habit of subconsciously putting them off. But I've got to change my mindset about the whole thing. I know I've got to dive in. Like I had to get used to doing the "prick and squeeze" glucose test every morning. The meds, breathing treatments, suctioning, etc. They tell us it's not even as uncomfortable as the glucose test. But it feels more painful to me. I think he reacts more to the alcohol wipe more than the shot itself. It's like the truncate for a blood draw or IV. As soon as they tie it on his arm, he knows what's to come.

Luckily Daddy is more comfortable with them and has been taking charge when he's home. But now he'll be gone for a week and I've got to step up. I'm sure by the end of the week, we'll have it down and it will be more comfortable and as playful as possible. I'm also warming the wipe under my arm to try to make it less noticeable. We'll see how it goes.

Seems to be helping his numbers. Today he was 90, which is much higher than his typical 80. I believe I posted earlier that there's only been 1 hypoglycemic event 2 or 3 days after the shots began. Not bad.
